Company Summary
National Weather Services and incumbent weather companies offer gridded weather forecasts, segmenting the globe into boxes like a Rubik's cube. Everyone inside of each box receives exactly the same forecast, regardless of microclimates.
Benchmark Labs offers a novel approach that provides forecasts to a specific point. We are a B2B SaaS company that integrates with leading IoT hardware sensors.
