On July 10, 2025, LGND AI, Inc., a company building new ways for people and AI to interact with Earth data, announced it has raised $9 million in financing. The round was led by Javelin Venture Partners, with participation from AENU, Space Capital, Overture, Ridgeline, MCJ, Coalition Operators, Clocktower Ventures, and more. Notable angel investors include John Hanke, founder of Keyhole (acquired by Google and the foundation for Google Maps and Niantic); Karim Atiyeh, co-founder and CTO of Ramp; and Suzanne DiBianca, EVP and Chief Impact Officer of Salesforce. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised LGND on the transaction.

With the new funding, LGND will launch a no-code geospatial app and an enterprise-facing solution. It will also expand developer access through SDKs and APIs for building custom workflows and applications, including support for AI agents and MCP integrations that allow models to directly interact with live Earth data.
