SkyFi
SkyFi is an Austin, Texas-based Earth intelligence company that runs a self-service marketplace for satellite imagery and analytics. Through a single web platform, mobile app and API, customers can search archives, task satellites and buy optical, SAR, hyperspectral and aerial imagery from more than 50 commercial providers - then run built-in AI analytics on it. Founded in 2021 by Luke Fischer and Bill Perkins, SkyFi aims to make geospatial data as easy to order as a rideshare, serving defense, government, finance, energy, agriculture, insurance and infrastructure customers worldwide.
Luke Fischer
Luke Fischer is the co-founder and CEO of SkyFi, an Austin-based Earth intelligence platform that lets businesses and governments order satellite imagery and analytics on demand, the way you'd hail an Uber. A former U.S. Army Special Operations aviator with 16 years on active duty, Fischer went on to lead flight operations at Uber and government operations at Joby Aviation before becoming an entrepreneur-in-residence at Shield Capital. He teamed up with investor Bill Perkins, who was frustrated that buying satellite imagery could take three to six months, and together they built a marketplace connecting more than 50 imagery providers. In January 2026 SkyFi raised an oversubscribed $12.7 million Series A to push deeper into AI-driven analytics.
