Space Ventures Radio Exploring Today's Space Startups

This week's episode of Space Ventures Radio examines Descartes Labs, a machine learning and predictive analytics startup using satellite imagery to predict crop yields, starting with corn in the U.S. Important Update on the "Team" Section: I missed mentioning Mark Mathis (Software Architect), Rick Chartrand (Mathematician) and Tim Kelton (Cloud Architect) in the founding team. MARK MATHIS — For the past decade Mark has worked to help put great science into the hands of decision makers, a role he continues to pursue at Descartes Labs creating and curating rich customer experiences. He studied computer science and engineering at Texas A&M University before moving to Los Alamos National Laboratory as a DOE High Performance Computer Science Graduate Fellow. RICK CHARTRAND — was once a pure mathematician, with a PhD from University of California, Berkeley. He now much prefers to be useful. Rick’s applied mathematics expertise includes image processing, machine learning, compressive sensing, and the iconoclasm
