About FIO

Weather impacts all of humanity. We may not experience it equally, but it’s something we all talk about, plan for, and are impacted by. And being able to accurately forecast the weather is something we’ve been working on for a long time.

Weather forecasting has improved immensely over the years, but we’re at an interesting point in the journey now. New techniques are allowing for greater accuracy at lower costs. This is where FIO lives. We work at the intersection of weather and technology, with the goal of bringing better forecasts to more people across the globe.

Traditional weather models have gotten much better but it has come at a cost. Countries with enough resources can afford the 10s or 100s of millions of dollars to design and operate their own weather models and weather services, but that cost is prohibitive for a huge swath of the globe. Entire countries are missing out and FIO is trying to fill the gaps.
