About
Skybox Imaging was founded in 2009 in Silicon Valley by Dan Berkenstock, John Fenwick, Julian Mann, and Ching-Yu Hu, all Stanford graduates. The company developed a constellation of small, low-cost satellites capable of capturing high-resolution video and imagery of the Earth, enabling applications in financial analysis, agriculture, disaster response, and government intelligence. Skybox raised $91M in venture funding before being acquired by Google in 2014 for approximately $500 million. Google rebranded the division as Terra Bella in 2016 before selling it to Planet Labs in 2017, where the SkySat satellite constellation continues to operate.
