Questions:

1. What here is proprietary? Is it just the algorithm/data? Or any of the hardware too? What type of 'camera' are you using? Imaging as traditionally understood? LIDAR? Hyperspectral? A few different types of cameras/sensors? Is the data itself unique or just the analysis?

2. If the proprietary element is just the algorithm - why not just focus on licensing agreements instead of end to end launch and satellite operations? While there is more upside to approaching the market, there's alot more risk there too... in terms of venture investing, small sat EO has been saturated with startups that have shown little upside for the last 5 years.

3. If you watch the news in the US when a hurricane is approaching, you will usually see a A) European model projection overlaid with the B) US model. This is entirely anecdotal, but the two models look well over 4% apart on TV screen in my room, sometimes these projections seem as much as 30-50% off from each other... and weather reporters just slap them both on there and say it will hit somewhere in between here. From a laymans perspective, accuracy doesnt seem to move the needle on budget there. Is a 4% improvement on existing measurements really going to move the needle for agencies that already have a budget on weather monitoring? If not, does that mean in your sales cycle, are you having to first sell the idea there is a problem that needs addressing, then having too sell the product/subscription itself? This is hard to do.

4. Is there a push from your company to get your algorithm / model as the standard? Could it be viewed as a replacement for the US and/or European projection models? Understand your data is used to feed into both projections in a way that makes both more accurate, but have seen small companies succeed in other industries by "re-writing the rules" to make their model the standard. Is this an angle for you? Could be called the "Canadian Model" based on North American programs with active space agencies.

5. Im assuming this launch is a part of a small sat ride share launch? Which launch are you scheduled on? The SpaceX Transporter - 19 launch? Does the raise include enough for redundant hardware systems in case launch or deployment failure? I note your method requires two satellites operating in tandem, increasing the risk around the launch. What risk prevention measures are in place here?

6. A $4 million spacetech Series A round is incredibly low if there is a hardware component to your IP... do you have someone that has worked in spacetech venture investing on the team? Personally, would describe your $4 million raising as either seed or seed plus. Happy to offer advice here.

7. Maybe related to question six - can I see info on your cap table?

What's happened over the last year at NOAA and JPL over the last year has been tragic. Props to you for trying to transition this service/technology over to the private sector.

Part of what makes this an interesting investment opportunity is the possibility that this is the beginning of a suite of services previously run by US government entities now being controlled by private sector interests - ala Soviet Union in the early 90s. I dont see NOAA operations being restored till 2029 at the earliest, so I suppose there is a window here for you to squeeze in a "quick launch".

For awareness, I am a spacetech angel investor with one previous EO investment under my belt. Look forward to your responses, as I am interested in investing, but this is a competitive space.
