In episode 87 of Venture Everywhere, Scott Hartley, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Everywhere Ventures, sits down with Nathaniel Manning, Co-founder and CEO of LGND — a company making Earth data intuitive and actionable through transformer-based geographic embeddings that enable teams to create, adapt, and scale geospatial datasets across time and geography. Nat shares LGND’s approach to unlocking the untapped value of hundreds of petabytes of satellite imagery, making Earth data both human- and machine-readable. Nat also discussed how AI-powered Earth observation is opening massive market opportunities while shaping mission-driven teams built on clarity and purpose.
In this episode, you will hear:
- LGND's use of transformer models to compress satellite imagery into geo embeddings.
- The shift toward AI-driven building blocks as the foundation of geospatial analysis.
- Building intuitive interfaces that let analysts fine-tune models through yes/no feedback.
- Integrating Earth observation with weather and infrastructure data.
- Exploring on-satellite processing to send embeddings instead of raw imagery.
