Head of Growth

About WeatherXM

WeatherXM.com founded in 2022 (WeatherXM AG, Zug) by a core team that has been working together since 2015 having previously founded exm.gr an IIoT environmental monitoring, and weather analytics company that has served major enterprise customers.

Current investors include Placeholder, Consensys, Protocol Labs, Metaplanet, Borderless Capital, SOSV HAX/DLAB,  notable visionary angel investors like Juan Benet (Filecoin), Ele Diakomichalis (Radicle). 

WeatherXM is a weather DePIN project that utilizes a dense network of community-deployed weather stations, to provide the most accurate weather services possible.

People join the network by setting up WeatherXM stations and earn WXM tokens for the data they collect. Companies who want to use the weather data to create services, will need to buy licenses with WXM tokens.

By using cost efficient hardware and delegating capex, installation and maintenance to station owners we are building a dense weather network capable of providing hyper-local, real-time weather measurements. This is not possible through the centralized planning, procurement and maintenance model national weather organizations have to follow.

The WeatherXM network already counts more than 5k weather stations deployed in 80+ countries generating real time weather data and more accurate hyperlocal forecasts that weather dependent businesses need.
