Weather data that changes the world 🤝  Processes that keep our environment clean 🌎 At WindBorne, we believe that collecting vital weather data and protecting our environment go hand in hand. When a kind soul in Arizona discovered one of our weather balloons recently, our team promptly engaged our recovery protocols and provided them instructions for proper disposal! WindBorne is proud to be plastic-neutral, meaning we collaborate with organizations that remove plastic from the ocean to offset every balloon that we launch! Have you encountered one of our balloons in the wild?

🚀 Thrilled to be named #5 on FastCompany's Most Innovative Companies in Sustainability for 2025! WindBorne's AI-powered weather balloons are revolutionizing extreme weather forecasting with greater accuracy than traditional methods—even outperforming Google DeepMind's models. From predicting Hurricanes Helene and Milton ⛈️ to launching new initiatives in Kenya that can help local farmers optimize crop yields 🌱, we're proving that better tech can drive environmental solutions.

🌊 MAKING WAVES IN WEATHER TECH: WindBorne has created the first-ever weather balloon to ocean buoy platform! Our innovative WindBorne Global Sounding Balloon (GSB) doesn't just complete its mission in the atmosphere—it begins a second life when landing on water, transforming into a buoy and continuing to collect crucial data from traditionally data-scarce ocean regions. Our GSBs, already capable of triple circumnavigation of the globe, can now strategically transform into buoys exactly where needed in the world's oceans. This dual-function capability fundamentally transforms how environmental data can be collected across atmospheric and oceanic domains. Follow its complete journey from sky 🎈 to sea 🛟: launch, flight, ocean landing, buoy path, and recovery!

WindBorne Systems was highlighted in a timely Heatmap News article about the future of weather forecasting and NOAA's challenges. "The vision I heard from the startups I talked to looked more like a mutually beneficial arrangement than the full commercialization of weather prediction, or even a clean division of labor. 'It’s not privatized weather, it’s a public-private partnership,' Dean said of his ideal future, 'where you get freely available forecasts from a public institution like NOAA, but they work with our industry to iterate faster and to drive more innovation.'”
