Windborne Systems

WindBorne Systems is a Palo Alto-based company revolutionizing weather forecasting by deploying a global constellation of long-duration, autonomous weather balloons. These balloons, capable of flying for weeks and collecting in-situ atmospheric data from the surface to the stratosphere—including over oceans and remote regions—feed proprietary, high-resolution data into WindBorne’s advanced AI models. The result is a suite of products that deliver more accurate weather forecasts, real-time insights, and risk mitigation tools for governments, private sector clients, and research organizations worldwide. Their technology has been recognized by TIME as one of the Best Inventions of 2025 and is used in partnership with organizations like NOAA, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, and the Gates Foundation.
