Little Place Labs empowers decision-makers with timely, actionable insights from space, delivered in minutes. Their core technology, Orbitfy, utilizes AI/ML-powered edge computing directly on satellites to process vast amounts of data, transforming it into precise insights before transmission to Earth. This revolutionary approach significantly reduces data downlink, speeds up decision-making, and lowers costs for applications in maritime surveillance, land monitoring, and finance. The company offers a suite of products: OrbitfyEDGE for real-time space insights, OrbitfyPREP for optimizing Earth Observation imagery and data delivery, and OrbitfyVIEW for data visualization and satellite tasking. Founded at the University of Oxford, Little Place Labs aims to make satellites smarter and more autonomous.
