# Geolava

> Geolava is a San Francisco startup building a world model for the built world - a spatial intelligence layer that fuses satellite, LiDAR, aerial, street-level and government data into a foundation model you can query in plain language. It lets real estate owners, investors, lenders, insurers and operators analyze, underwrite, monitor and forecast physical assets, turning slow, manual property surveying into predictive property intelligence.

- **Founded:** 2024
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Hantz Fevry (Co-Founder & CEO), Pierre Frederic Mombeleur (Co-Founder), Andrew Cutler (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~14 employees
- **Products:** Geolava Workbench, Infrastructure / Model Access, Spatial data fusion engine
- **Notable:** Raised a $4.3M seed round in July 2025 led by Luge Capital., Backed early by Nvidia Inception and Plug and Play at the pre-seed stage (2024)., Founding team previously built Stoovo, a location-intelligence platform that mapped 130M+ buildings and was acquired by Doorstep in 2024.

## Products & services

- **Geolava Workbench** — An institutional interface where analysts and decision teams analyze, underwrite, monitor and forecast properties by asking complex questions and getting instant, structured answers.
- **Infrastructure / Model Access** — Usage-based access to Geolava's model inference, live state embeddings and private deployment options for teams that want to build on the spatial foundation model directly via API.
- **Spatial data fusion engine** — Fuses satellite, LiDAR, aerial, street-level, optical, thermal, spectral and synthetic aperture radar imagery with zoning, land-use, tax and deed records into a single spatial intelligence layer.

## Achievements
