Who We Are

Stratolia is pioneering a new standard in Earth observation by deploying a network of autonomous stratospheric balloons, operating at 20 km altitude, to capture ultra high-resolution imagery at scale. We deliver actionable, always up-to-date visual data — at 10 cm per pixel — at a fraction of the cost and latency of satellite systems.

We believe the next revolution in Earth intelligence will be powered by domain-specific AI agents. These systems will require continuous, rich visual context of our planet to operate.

Stratolia is the foundational layer — the sensing infrastructure that enables them.

Why Now?

Satellite systems are too expensive, slow, and coarse for the AI-powered applications of the future.

Ground-level and drone data is limited in coverage and frequency.

The rise of AI Agents creates a need for live, reliable, structured visual data.

Stratolia provides this missing link.
