Splitero allows homeowners to tap into their home equity without incurring monthly payments or new debt, offering a lump sum of cash in exchange for a share of the home’s future value. Antarctica Capital sees Splitero as an innovative fintech solution addressing a critical need for homeowners, especially in a market where home equity has reached record levels, totaling $11.5 trillion across the U.S.
EarthDaily Analytics (EDA)’s acquisition of Descartes Labs significantly boosts its geospatial data and AI analytics offerings, particularly for industries such as insurance, energy, mining, and defense. By combining Descartes Labs’ advanced AI-driven analytics platform with EDA’s cutting-edge Earth Observation technologies, the merger will allow EDA to deliver more precise, actionable insights to its clients. This is especially timely as EDA prepares for the 2025 launch of the EarthDaily Constellation, a satellite network designed to capture daily, high-resolution imagery of nearly 100% of the Earth’s landmass.
Antarctica Capital, the private equity firm behind both companies, orchestrated this acquisition to create a vertically integrated leader in geospatial and data analytics. The firm’s investment strategy aims to leverage synergies between its portfolio companies, driving innovation and growth. By supporting the merger, Antarctica Capital ensures that EDA can fully utilize Descartes Labs’ AI capabilities to enhance its Earth Observation services and expand its customer base across multiple high-growth sectors
