The Brief

What Solafune does

Solafune builds a "Planetary Intelligence OS" that fuses satellite imagery (GEOINT), signals data (SIGINT), and open-source intelligence (OSINT) into a single analysis platform. The company says government and public-sector customers, including Japan's Ministry of Defense, JAXA, the Japan Meteorological Agency, and several African governments, use its tools for defense monitoring, disaster response, and resource management. Solafune also runs a satellite-data analysis competition platform that gives researchers free access to JAXA imagery. The company says the new funding will expand its generative AI and multimodal analysis work and grow its overseas government business.
