I don't know how big the market is but there is at least one multibillion dollar company (ESRI) in the space. I think they have products targeted at most major industries. The US has at least two government agencies that are heavily involved in satellite imagery and they must contract out a lot of that work. I think it is getting easier to enter into the government contracting space. Anduril shows that you can get VC backing and scale fast if you have the right product.

Hahahaha no.


I mean, I personally know people who have done it at the SBIR level and there is definitely more VC interest recently than say 10 years ago.
