Background and Purpose of the Funding

Solafune operates with the mission “Hack The Planet,” advancing geospatial analytics technologies centered around satellite data.

In recent years, the rise of geopolitical risks and the increasing complexity of global security environments have rapidly expanded the demand for advanced intelligence collection and analysis capabilities in the defense and intelligence sectors. As a result, demand for Solafune’s technologies has grown significantly.

Solafune is building an integrated intelligence platform capable of analyzing:

• GEOINT — satellite and geospatial intelligence

• OSINT — information from social media, media, and internet sources

• SIGINT — communications and signal intelligence

These capabilities are integrated into a unified intelligence infrastructure and applied across multiple industries, including defense and intelligence, natural resources, disaster response, agriculture, and infrastructure monitoring.

As a result, Solafune has secured numerous projects from Japanese government agencies, including the Ministry of Defense, National Police Agency, and Cabinet Office.

Internationally, the company is also collaborating with foreign governments and United Nations agencies, particularly across Africa, to execute projects related to resource security and disaster response.

Solafune’s technology is evolving beyond industry-specific solutions into a foundational intelligence infrastructure supporting decision-making for governments and the international community.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead, Solafune plans to expand its operations beyond Japan to Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East, focusing on the Global South.

At the core of this expansion is the development of a planetary-scale intelligence infrastructure — the “Planetary Intelligence OS” — centered on defense and intelligence applications.

This funding will strengthen the company’s foundation to achieve that vision. The capital will be used for:

• Hiring engineers, product leaders, and national security professionals

• Advancing generative AI and multimodal intelligence analysis technologies

• Investing in computing infrastructure, security environments, and facilities

• Accelerating international expansion for government projects

Careers

Solafune is actively hiring as it continues to expand.

Open roles include:

• AI / ML / LLM Engineers

• Satellite Imagery Analysis Engineers

• Product Engineers

• Security & Intelligence Engineers

• Project Managers and Business Leaders for Government & International Organizations

We welcome individuals who are eager to work on national-scale and global projects.

Message from the CEO

Ren Uechi, Founder & CEO of Solafune

Is it possible to describe all phenomena using mathematics?

And if so, what form should that description take?

This question I asked myself as a student ultimately led to the founding of Solafune. Since then, we have been building technologies that enable humanity to better understand our planet — and ourselves.

As AI and space technologies converge, Solafune will build the intelligence infrastructure that supports decision-making for governments and organizations around the world.

Through the realization of the Planetary Intelligence OS, we will embody our mission:

“Hack The Planet.”
