Stormpulse is a technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas, specializing in high-fidelity weather intelligence and supply chain risk management solutions. Founded in 2007, it delivers real-time data aggregation, analysis, and visualization for severe weather events and external risks, serving industries like energy, transportation, defense, healthcare, retail, logistics, and government agencies.[1][2][3][5] Businesses subscribe to its platforms—initially focused on weather monitoring via interactive maps, later expanded to the Riskpulse platform for broader risks like earthquakes, crime, and travel alerts—to enhance long-range planning, daily operations, and decision-making around asset protection and supply chain stability.[1][2][4]
The company transforms public data sources, such as NOAA feeds, into actionable insights like risk scores for asset locations, enabling users to predict disruptions (e.g., factory closures from hurricanes) and respond proactively.[2][5] With reported revenues around $9 million in 2025 and total funding of $22.7 million, Stormpulse has grown from a niche weather tool to a comprehensive B2B SaaS provider, though it appears to have rebranded or merged into Everstream Analytics as Riskpulse by around 2019.[3][6]
Stormpulse was founded in 2007 by Matt Wensing, who serves as co-founder and CEO, drawing from his early programming experience automating catalog data entry and a personal passion for hurricane tracking maps from childhood.[2][5][7] Wensing started the project as a nights-and-weekends effort, inspired by outdated manual methods like pencil-and-paper storm plotting, aiming to digitize and automate severe weather monitoring for businesses with distributed assets.[5][7] One pivotal moment was recognizing the need for real-time oversight akin to server monitoring but for physical infrastructure, evolving from scraping public weather data into a full B2B platform without owning satellites or stations.[5]
Early traction came organically as a free tool before shifting to a subscription model, focusing solely on severe events like hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods rather than everyday forecasts.[5][7] By 2014, after seven years of weather specialization, Stormpulse launched Riskpulse to address broader supply chain risks, unifying diverse data sources with AI and proprietary scoring.[2] The company raised $2.7 million initially and up to $22.7 million total, sustaining growth to serve U.S. government users and enterprises.[3][5][6]
Stormpulse stands out in the weather and risk intelligence space through these key strengths:
Competitors include IBM, The Weather Channel, AccuWeather, and Tomorrow.io, but Stormpulse's niche in asset-specific, predictive risk scores differentiates it.[3]
Stormpulse rides the wave of supply chain resilience and AI-driven risk analytics, trends amplified by events like pandemics, climate volatility, and geopolitical disruptions that exposed vulnerabilities in global operations.[2][4][6] Its timing was ideal: launching amid rising severe weather frequency and big data challenges, it capitalized on public data availability to democratize enterprise-grade intelligence pre-AI boom.[5][7] Market forces like increasing asset dispersion in logistics/energy and demand for predictive tools (e.g., quantifying hurricane impacts on factories) favor its model, influencing the ecosystem by pioneering B2B weather-as-a-service and inspiring mergers like its evolution into Everstream Analytics.[4][6]
By focusing on "apps that matter" for physical world risks, Stormpulse helped shift weather tech from consumer apps to mission-critical enterprise software, paving the way for competitors and integrations in sectors handling $100K+/hour downtime.[5]
Stormpulse's trajectory—from 2007 weather innovator to Riskpulse/Everstream merger—positions it (or its successor) for expansion in AI-enhanced supply chain platforms amid escalating climate risks and data proliferation.[6] Next steps likely involve deeper AI integration for global predictive analytics, potentially scaling beyond U.S./Caribbean to full international coverage, while trends like real-time IoT sensor fusion and regulatory pushes for resilience shape growth.[2][4] Its influence may evolve from niche disruptor to ecosystem leader, empowering more industries to turn external threats into operational edges, much like its origins disrupted paper maps for digital foresight.
