As the second startup of ESA BIC Bavaria, the alumni CloudEO plans its IPO at Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada in the coming months. After a series A funding last summer valued at EUR 2.4 million, the startup received EUR 5 million within a pre-IPO round. Additionally, the entrepreneurs plan to start an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for their Cloudeo-Blockchain-Token during next months.
CloudEO is a unique portal for all those who create, interpret, and use geodata. There is a vast amount of geodata available, and there are countless applications that interpret this data. CloudEO brings them together in an easy, cost-efficient way. All players in the EO and geomarket benefit:
- Data and content providers gain additional revenue from geodata
- Geo-IT developers gain the ability to access geodata, demonstrate and offer products, and find development partners
- Service providers gain a platform for developing and delivering geodata services online
The pioneering startup CloudEO joined the ESA BIC Bavaria family in 2013.
