Jupiter Intelligence is a technology company specializing in climate risk analytics, delivering AI-powered, hyper-local predictions of weather and climate impacts to help enterprises manage physical risks from extreme events like floods, wildfires, heat, and storms.[1][2][3] Headquartered in San Mateo, California, with 94 employees and led by CEO Rich Sorkin, it serves sectors including financial services, insurance, energy, real estate, manufacturing, banking, critical infrastructure, and the public sector by quantifying risks at asset, portfolio, or street-level resolution over horizons from hours to 50 years.[1][4][5] Its core product, the ClimateScore Global platform (powered by Jupiter AI), ingests petabytes of satellite, sensor, and climate data to provide decision-grade insights for risk assessment, mitigation modeling, and adaptation strategies, addressing over $100 trillion in global assets vulnerable to climate change.[2][6][7]
The platform solves the lack of standardized methods for measuring climate-induced economic impacts, enabling informed decisions on resilience, insurance pricing, infrastructure planning, and disclosures.[2][3][5] Recent growth includes the 2025 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award for social impact, recognizing its democratization of climate data for underserved communities via partnerships like UNDP's Jupiter Promise, and expansions like FloodScore and HeatScore services.[2][6]
Jupiter Intelligence was founded in 2017 by a team of world-renowned scientists, climate experts, and executives, including CEO Rich Sorkin, amid growing awareness of climate change's threat to global assets.[1][2][4] The idea emerged from the need for precise, dynamic tools to quantify risks from severe weather and long-term shifts—where traditional one-time climate studies fell short—leveraging advances in AI, cloud computing, satellite data, and physics-based modeling.[2][3][5]
A pivotal moment came in February 2018 with the launch of its ClimateScore platform in San Mateo, CA, which quickly gained traction with property developers, insurers, infrastructure operators, and public entities by delivering hyper-local predictions at unprecedented scales.[2] Early focus on enterprise solutions evolved into broader offerings like FloodScore, HeatScore, and Jupiter AI, expanding to 22.3 billion global locations and earning accolades for social good by 2025.[6][7]
Jupiter stands out in climate risk intelligence through these key strengths:
Jupiter rides the explosive growth of climate tech and resilience software, fueled by escalating extreme weather costs, regulatory demands for climate disclosures (e.g., SEC rules), and $100+ trillion in at-risk assets.[2][4] Its timing aligns perfectly with AI's maturation for planetary-scale data processing, satellite proliferation (e.g., orbital sensors), and the shift from reactive disaster response to proactive adaptation in a world where 95% of risks in developing nations remain uninsured.[3][6]
Market forces like insurer needs for precise pricing, energy firms' grid resilience planning, and real estate's physical risk assessments amplify its influence.[4][5][7] As a leader among 15+ platforms (per CB Insights), Jupiter shapes the ecosystem by enabling better infrastructure, policy, and ESG decisions, bridging public-private gaps, and accelerating climate adaptation amid converging FinTech, SpaceTech, and DeepTech trends.[3][4]
Jupiter is poised for expansion with Jupiter AI driving instant, global insights, potentially capturing more market share in insurance/reinsurance and emerging public-sector deals amid rising climate litigation and net-zero mandates.[6][7] Trends like multimodal AI integration, real-time sensor fusion, and sovereign resilience funds will propel its growth, especially in underserved regions via partnerships.[3][6]
Its influence may evolve from analytics provider to ecosystem orchestrator, powering standardized climate risk protocols and influencing $ trillions in investments. As climate threats intensify, Jupiter's predictive edge positions it to safeguard a resilient future, fulfilling its founding promise of turning data into actionable planetary defense.[2][7]
