    Participated · Seed · Jun 2018

    SatSense is a satellite-data company that developed software to detect subsidence using satellite measurements. Its technology can precisely measure ground movement down to 1 mm per year and attribute causes such as tree roots, shallow landslides, or groundwater pumping. The company's results can be applied to continuous monitoring of critical infrastructure including bridges, railways, dams, and oil and gas production sites. Subsidence data is also used by home buyers, surveyors, mortgage lenders and insurers. SatSense plans to use new funding to bring the technology to market, recruit a managing director and expand the development team. The company is based in Leeds, UK and was co-founded by University of Leeds professors Tim Wright and Andy Hooper.
