We have liftoff! After a successful launch this weekend, the first FireSat satellite is now orbiting Earth 🛰️ It’s the first of a 50+ satellite constellation that will help detect + track wildfires as small as 5x5 meters, using AI. Huge thanks to partners @MuonSpace @EarthFireAll @MooreFound, and special thanks to @SpaceX for the ride! Here’s a look at the satellite on the launch pad (it’s behind the yellow rectangle).

Lovely trip to the big 🍎 last week, so much fun hosting founders & operators for dinner & great conversation.

Feeling energized: small group events will always be my favorite and feeling privileged to bring such good people together.
