Spexi

Spexi operates the world's largest standardized drone imagery network, providing on-demand, ultra-high-resolution aerial imagery and geospatial intelligence for mapping, AI model training, and physical AI applications. The company's distributed drone pilot network, called LayerDrone, captures standardized imagery at 1-3cm pixel resolution on demand, enabling rapid data collection across cities and regions without the long refresh cycles of traditional satellite imagery programs. Spexi has imaged over 6 million acres and offers a growing archive of 6.5M+ acres of drone imagery accessible via API, a world viewer, and ESRI ArcGIS integration through the Esri Content Store powered by Skywatch. The platform delivers structured data products including orthomosaics, 3D point clouds, Gaussian splats, and structured oblique and nadir imagery, designed for integration into ML pipelines and data infrastructure. Spexi serves government, insurance, spatial AI, AEC (architecture, engineering, construction), and autonomous navigation use cases, supporting computer vision tasks such as object detection, segmentation, change detection, digital twin creation, and synthetic data generation. The platform enables real-world change detection for progress verification, site change detection, risk prediction, development state tracking, asset condition modeling, and investor reporting automation. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Spexi has raised $17.0M in Series A funding from investors including Blockchange, Protocol Labs, Dapper Labs, InDro Robotics, FJ Labs, Alliance DAO, and CyLon.
