What LYRASENSE does

LYRASENSE (legal entity: LYRASENSE LTD) is a London-based, privately held software company that builds an agentic AI platform for satellite and geospatial intelligence. The platform integrates 90+ petabytes of pre-indexed satellite imagery from 80+ sensors (including Sentinel, Landsat, SPOT, and Pleiades) with an orchestration layer branded Geo Agentic Swarm™, a natural language assistant named LYRA, a collaborative notebook workspace with a Notebook Agent that generates analysis code, and a library of 28+ pre-built analysis templates spanning emissions monitoring, vessel detection, infrastructure health, agricultural yield, and urban development. Its technical architecture is multimodal — combining optical, SAR, and hyperspectral imagery with AIS, IoT, and reanalysis weather feeds — and the product roadmap includes on-orbit edge deployment directly to satellite infrastructure.

The company serves four primary customer segments: individual builders (Explorer tier at £50/month), professional creators (Creator tier at £100/month), enterprise teams (custom Teams pricing with unlimited users, dedicated onboarding, and founder-level support), and government/defense organizations (requiring sovereign cloud or air-gapped deployment on AWS GovCloud or Azure Government). GTM is hybrid: product-led growth drives self-serve SMB adoption through app.lyrasense.com, while enterprise and government revenue runs through direct sales with 30-day pilots and dedicated solutions engineers. Revenue mechanics are subscription-based with a credit consumption layer for compute, data ingestion, AI tasks, and deployments; commercial satellite imagery access requires KYC. Named reference customers include Aramco, Rio Tinto, Telefonica, the Technical University of Munich, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, with pilots covering energy, mining, telecom, agriculture, and defense use cases.

LYRASENSE was founded in 2025 and operates with 1–10 employees. Capital partners disclosed are incubator/accelerator programs (ESA Business Incubation Centre, Seraphim Space, NVIDIA Inception, Google for Startups, Wayra by Telefonica, UnternehmerTUM, TUM Venture Labs, and a UK ministry program), alongside two small disclosed checks totaling approximately $310K from ESA/BMWi and the Seraphim Space Accelerator in mid-2025. The company is recognized as a top European geospatial startup at EXPANDEO 2025.

Revenue model

1. Subscription with Credit Commitment: Monthly credit-based subscription model where customers commit to a monthly credit allowance. Credits are consumed for data ingestion, processing, AI tasks, training, and dashboard deployments. Monthly subscription credits do not roll over, but extra top-up credits do roll over. Annual subscriptions available with 2 months free.
2. Usage-Based Top-Up Credits: Customers can purchase additional credits beyond their monthly commitment on a pay-as-you-go basis. Top-up credits roll over and can be purchased anytime to continue operations when base credits are exhausted.
3. Enterprise Custom Plans: Custom enterprise pricing with unlimited user seats, dedicated onboarding programs, priority support from founders, custom templates, API integrations, and white-label outputs. Includes quarterly strategy reviews and shared communication channels.

Core offering

LYRASENSE provides an AI-native, cloud-based geospatial intelligence platform that lets users build satellite-powered applications end-to-end inside a single workspace. The platform ingests petabytes of pre-indexed satellite imagery from 80+ sensors, uses agentic AI (the Geo Agentic Swarm™) and a natural language assistant (LYRA) to automate data search, analysis code generation, visualization, and dashboard deployment, and exposes the workflows through subscription tiers (Explorer, Creator, Teams) and enterprise/government contracts with sovereign deployment options.

Product overview

LYRASENSE is an AI-native geospatial intelligence platform offered as a unified cloud-based SaaS product with tiered pricing plans. The core platform integrates a collaborative workspace, the LYRA natural language AI assistant, the Geo Agentic Swarm autonomous agent system, a Notebook Agent for code generation, a library of 28+ pre-built analysis templates, a data marketplace providing access to 90+ PB of satellite data from 80+ sensors, and publish/deployment capabilities. The platform is designed for organizations to build satellite-powered applications in minutes without GIS expertise. Pricing tiers include Explorer (£50/month), Creator (£100/month), and custom Teams plans, with an enterprise offering that adds unlimited users, dedicated onboarding, API integrations, and white-label branding. Edge deployment to satellite infrastructure is on the roadmap. The product enables users to go from natural language queries to production-ready dashboards, maps, and reports in a single workspace.
