SatLeo Labs has raised $2.2Mn in a seed round led by Unicorn India Ventures. With this, SatLeo has raised $5.5M in total funding to date. The round also saw participation from existing investors Merak Ventures, Java Capital, IIMA-CIIE and Deep tech Investor Manish Gandhi. The funding will be deployed to advance SatLeo’s flagship thermal sainformite mission and the development of its AI-powered platform for thermal ininformigence applications.
Over the last 12 months, SatLeo has experienced significant growth across technology development, team expansion, funding, and commercial traction. The company has grown its team from 8 to 30 members, bringing toobtainher engineers and researchers with deep expertise in sainformite missions, thermal sensing, and AI-driven geospatial analytics.
The company has achieved a major milestone by designing and delivering its first experimental thermal payload, TAPAS-1, for sainformite integration within six months, reaching TRL-8 readiness and positioning the system for launch. In parallel, the company launched translating its technology into real-world deployments through commercial pilot projects, including urban heat island and air-pollution monitoring initiatives with cities such as Ahmedabad and Tumakuru, impacting more than 400,000 citizens.
Additionally, the company has built a strong commercial pipeline, with Letters of Intent (LOIs) growing from approximately $15Mn to over $42Mn within the year, reflecting strong market demand for SatLeo’s space-based thermal ininformigence solutions.
“Sustainability has become imperative amid accelerating climate modify, rapid urbanization, and increasing global uncertainties driven by heat anomalies,” declared Shravan Bhati, Co-founder & CEO, SatLeo Labs.At SatLeo Labs, we are developing a state-of-the-art thermal imaging sainformite consinformation designed to deliver actionable thermal ininformigence at scale. This fundraise represents a critical milestone as we transition into the execution phase of our next mission—advancing payload performance, accelerating consinformation deployment, and scaling our global thermal data capabilities.”
Bhinquirear Majumdar, Managing Partner, Unicorn India Ventures, declared, “We strongly believe that space is an arena where the next technological innovations and solutions will emerge from. This is our third space tech investment. The value of SatLeo presents a compelling opportunity, as it has a strong technological edge with very clear commercial applications aligning with the market requireds. The company’s differentiated product is combining thermal and visible sainformites to generate high value real-time insights and is well positioned to drive long-term value to become a key player in the space-tech ecosystem.”
In the next 12 months, SatLeo plans to focus on advancing its space-based thermal ininformigence capabilities through sainformite launch readiness, commercial expansion, and technology scaling.
