Matter Intelligence

Matter Intelligence is a California-based remote sensing and physical-AI company founded in 2024 by former NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers Vishnu Sridhar and Thomas Chrien with former Caltech scientist Nathan Stein. The company builds ultraspectral imaging sensors that capture roughly 2,000 spectral bands from deep ultraviolet through thermal infrared — enough to read the molecular chemistry of a surface rather than only its color — and pairs them with Large Geospatial Models that reason over that data. Its sensors are designed for satellites, aircraft, drones and robots, and its first satellite, EARTH-1, is intended to deliver sub-meter hyperspectral and thermal imaging and to build a global encyclopedia of Earth's material composition. Target applications named on its site include mining and mineral exploration, agriculture, insurance and risk, infrastructure monitoring, emissions and methane detection, and defense ISR. The company emerged from stealth in October 2024 with a $12M seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital, with Toyota Ventures, Pear VC, E2MC and Mark Cuban participating. As of this profile it is pre-launch and pre-product: matter.com is a marketing site with an Early Access request form, and Matter Intelligence publishes no public API, developer portal, documentation, SDK or machine-readable contract of any kind.

Matter Intelligence is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Remote Sensing, Earth Observation, Hyperspectral Imaging, and Geospatial.
