Gamma Earth receives CHF 40,000 from Venture Kick to scale AI-enhanced satellite data platform
28.04.2026
Gamma Earth receives CHF 40,000 from Venture Kick to advance its AI-powered satellite imaging technology. By enabling 10x super-resolution of Sentinel-2 data across all spectral bands, the startup provides high-resolution, cost-effective Earth observation data, supporting applications from environmental monitoring to precision industries at scale.

What was the first real signal that your solution worked outside the lab or pitch deck, and what did that moment change for you?
Gamma Earth started from a real problem we had faced ourselves: the lack of high-resolution, up-to-date, and affordable satellite data across many industries.
There wasn’t one single moment, but a long phase of experimentation. The real turning point came when we started getting strong positive feedback from industry on our results. That confirmed we were solving a widespread problem and pushed us to move forward with confidence.
Can you briefly describe your project and where it stood when you entered Venture Kick?
Gamma Earth develops AI models to enhance satellite imaging data. Our flagship model enables 10x super-resolution of ESA Sentinel-2 data across all spectral bands.
We entered Venture Kick at a later stage, after three years of operations. At that point, we were already a cash-positive, self-sustained business, and joined primarily to connect with the Swiss startup and venture capital ecosystem for our next growth phase.
How has the direction of your product/service/product strategy changed since working with the Venture Kick Team?
We’ve remained focused on building strong technology with a lean team. At the same time, Venture Kick is helping us transition toward a phase of faster commercial growth and stronger market positioning.
How will the Stage 2 funding help you advance your project concretely?
Stage 2 funding will support the development of our e-commerce platform, enabling automated user and data management and helping us scale our sales pipeline.
In parallel, we aim to strengthen our IP portfolio and prepare for the next phase of R&D and product expansion.
