Kristen Scholer: Welcome back to Cheddar News everyone, I’m Kristen Scholer. Planet, a company providing daily data and insights, about this planet, Earth, is on its way to Wall Street. The company announcing this week that it plans to go public via a SPAC merger, with a blank check company dMY Technology Group, that will ultimately value the company at about $2.8 billion dollars. But joining me now is Planet’s cofounder and CEO, Will Marshall. Will, it’s good to have you on the show this afternoon. So, I think a lot of people...the biggest question that they might have is, what is your company, Planet, doing for this planet?

Will Marshall: Well thanks, pleased to be here, and happy to tell you a little bit about Planet. Basically we have a fleet of over 200 satellites that image the entire Earth’s landmass every day – it’s a massive new dataset. So we’re a data company providing that data to help people make smarter decisions all around the planet. So we have a wide variety of customers, ranging from agriculture customers that use our imagery to improve their crop yields by 20-40%. We have companies like Google that use our data to improve the maps that you see online – healing the maps and keeping them up-to-date; we have governments that use it for border security, disaster response, to floods and fires – so there’s quick response of firefighters to wildfires. So a wide variety of uses; the general category is helping us to transition to a digital economy and a sustainable economy. So what we are seeing is as we reboot out of COVID, is that companies and countries alike, want to move us to a sustainable economy. Our business is a subscription business….

Kristen Scholer: Will. Before we get into the details of the business, let’s talk about this. So you’re collecting this data from satellites that have been launched into space. We cover the space economy increasingly on this show. What are the operators that you work with, the rocket companies, to get your satellites into space to begin with?

Will Marshall: Well, we work with SpaceX, we work with the Indian Rocket, PLSV. We work with a variety of companies that launch our satellites. We build, design, and operate the satellites here in San Francisco. But we use a variety of launch vehicles to get there.

Kristen Scholer: How many satellites do you have in space?

Will Marshall: 200.

Kristen Scholer: 200 satellites and providing daily data-actionable items. Now let’s talk about the business model. You were going to get into that. You’ve got a subscription service and that’s how you make money?

Will Marshall: Yeah, that’s exactly right. We sell the data as data feeds, so the imagery feeds into people’s workflows to help them make smarter decisions. Like there is agriculture – helping farmers make smarter day-to day decisions. Think of it as a bit like Bloomberg Terminal, for Earth data. Bloomberg Terminal provides financial data to a wide variety of financial services companies to help them make smarter decisions; we are providing Earth data, imagery, and analytics on top of that, as data feeds into people’s workflows. That means just like any other data company, we have high growth and high margins, because selling a data feed to a second and a third customer has very, very low incremental costs, so we have high margins. And we are serving these wide variety of vertical markets, I started to mention, but generally, in helping the digital transformation and sustainability transformation of the global economy.

Kristen Scholer: And what does your data show about the need for sustainability in this country, in this world, to keep planet Earth safe and hopefully avoid the worst of a climate crisis.

Will Marshall: Well what we see is the world is constantly changing. You think of the world as static, because you’re used to static maps, but actually the world is changing all the time. Agricultural fields are producing food, rivers move, forests get depleted, ice caps are melting, shipping is overfishing in certain waters – we are monitoring all of that, and providing that data to our customers to help them manage resources more smartly.

Kristen Scholer: Now, why’d you decide to go the SPAC route and why now?

Will Marshall: Well firstly, we’re really excited to be going public. It’s a big milestone for the company. And why, it’s because we’re ready and the world really needs us. We’re ready; we’ve got this 200 satellite fleet, we’re producing this unique data set, we scaled to over $100 million in revenue last year, and we’re rapidly growing from here. So we’ve got a scaled company and we’re ready for the public markets. The world needs us; we’re feeling this pull. Especially as the economy reboots out of the COVID pandemic, everyone is wanting to reboot into a digital economy, using data especially – to sense remote locations that you can’t get to – and a sustainable economy. Everyone is recognizing the fires and effects of climate change, and our data can help them to manage that transition.

Kristen Scholer: 200 satellites in orbit right now, SpaceX, a partner of yours you listed some other companies there as well. Our viewers might be most familiar with SpaceX, that’s why I say that company. What’s in the pipeline?

Will Marshall: Well there’s a lot of future excitement, we’re going to continue to innovate and have the best data. We are building a lot of capabilities to service companies using machine learning to extract out information. So you can imagine, in each picture we can pull out — here’s a road, here’s a building, here’s a ship, here’s a plane. Then you can query information out of that, and that can make it more useful to more players. Instead of just the big governments or the Googles of this world, more companies — little insurance companies or finance companies and NGOs, developers here in Silicon Valley — all can get value out of our data if we can provide a little bit of analytics and go up the value chain. So we’re going to be working on that. You’ll see some exciting announcements coming up in the next few months. We’ve got a big panel happening next week, which is about Silicon Valley and how it’s helping climate. In run up to the COP meeting, the big climate meeting in October, November timeframe. We have our user conference, we’ve got a lot of exciting stuff happening. We’ve also got a launch coming up later this year — another SpaceX launch, that’d be our eighth SpaceX rocket launch. So, many things coming up!

Kristen Scholer: Alright, very cool things that you’re doing for this planet at your company Planet. Will Marshall, Co-Founder and CEO of Planet, thank you so much.
