Ibadan, 16 January 2026. – Hydrosat has announced the close of $60 million in new funding to accelerate growth across commercial, civil government, and defense markets. The round was led by Hartree Partners, Subutai Capital Partners, and Space 4 Earth, with new investment from Truffle Capital.
The round also includes follow-on investment from the Luxembourg Future Fund, OTB Ventures, Blue Bear Capital, Statkraft Ventures, Cultivation Capital, and Santa Barbara Venture Partners. As such, the $60 million total reflects the core Series B financing as well as additional equity investments.
The funding will subsequently expand Hydrosat’s global footprint – with deepened presence in key regions such as Central Asia, MENA, India, and Latin America – and support its next phase of constellation development and product evolution. The company will also scale its thermal satellite fleet, with advanced next-generation imaging systems, and expand its Water & Crop management solutions.
Hydrosat currently delivers daily, field-scale thermal intelligence that enables governments and enterprises to anticipate and respond to emerging resource challenges before they escalate. With two thermal infrared satellites in orbit, Hydrosat’s collection capacity exceeds 10 million square kilometers of imagery per day.
“We’re seeing remarkable momentum behind Hydrosat’s mission,” says Pieter Fossel, CEO and co-founder of Hydrosat. “This new funding underscores the company’s sustained growth and positions us to meet the increasing demand for intelligent solutions to some of society’s most complex challenges in national security and natural resources.”
By leveraging advanced AI and machine learning models to provide global temperature insights, Hydrosat offers critical data to monitor water use, optimize irrigation, improve water productivity, and detect early indicators of vegetation stress or drought.
