ClimateAi<\/a>, a San Francisco-based startup utilizing long-range forecasting tools to help food and ag firms adapt to a changing climate, has ceased operations, two years after ag intelligence platform Gro Intelligence called it quits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The firm, which has raised $38 million<\/a> from backers including Robert Downey Jr\u2019s Footprint Coalition<\/a>, announced the \u201cwind down of our operations\u201d on LinkedIn on Friday and directed people to a post<\/a> from cofounder and CEO Himanshu Gupta.<\/p>\n

In a short article thanking his colleagues and customers, Gupta said: \u201cEight years ago, we set out to make the world a better and more resilient place. Today, we\u2019ve decided to shut down ClimateAi and return the capital to our investors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blaming unspecified \u201cgeopolitical and climate headwinds\u201d that \u201cmade it hard to continue our mission,\u201d Gupta added: \u201cWhile this is not the outcome we wanted, I find myself walking away with more pride than disappointment. When we started, climate adaptation wasn\u2019t a category. Today, it\u2019s a real market with real companies in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate post<\/a>, COO Will Kletter said: \u201cAs we\u2019ve rolled out this news to customers, we\u2019ve received countless messages describing how we helped elevate climate science to the board room and got executive teams to think about climate resilience as a meaningful business variable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither party provided any further details on what precipitated the decision or whether the firm had explored strategic buyers or combinations with other weather\/climate intelligence companies.<\/p>\n

AgFunderNews<\/em> has reached out to Gupta and Kletter for further comment.<\/p>\n

Climate adaptation tools<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Best-known for its\u00a0long-range weather forecasting,<\/a> ClimateAi\u2019s ClimateLens platform applies AI and patented models to climate and weather data points from multiple sources from oceanic buoys to satellite sensors, radar stations, and weather stations, to generate actionable insights.<\/p>\n

Over the years, it has built a suite of tools assisting clients with demand planning and procurement, originally targeting big seed and ag chem companies but more recently gaining traction from CPG firms including Dole, Suntory, Oatly and McCain.<\/p>\n

Speaking to AgFunderNews<\/em> in January<\/a> about a new tool combining visualization, forecasting, and agentic AI to help customers plan harvest windows, Kletter described a \u201csteady organizational shift\u201d within the food industry, whereby procurement and sustainability teams have started to merge.<\/p>\n

This, he claimed, \u201cdefines a real shift in the thinking around how climate has become a core business variable in operational and strategic planning. The key question now is how does this become deeply integrated into our customers\u2019 day-to-day workflows?\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether the firm was profitable, he said: \u201cInvesting in our technical team to stay competitive on AI has become more important than being immediately profitable, and we\u2019re OK with that as long as the unit economics of the business remain favorable.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a developing story\u2026<\/p>\n
