What Loamin does

Loamin is a geospatial AI company that built and commercialized a proprietary "Large Earth Model" to deliver land, soil, and biodiversity intelligence. Its platform enables users to upload or draw land parcels, select from pre-trained algorithms or commission bespoke metrics, and generate high-resolution interactive maps and summary reports covering soil carbon estimation, biodiversity monitoring, and supply chain environmental impact. Distribution is delivered through a real-time API and direct enterprise engagement, targeting four verticals: food and beverage companies (carbon and nature impact verification across supply chains), natural capital markets (soil sampling optimization and carbon/biodiversity estimation), financial institutions (agricultural portfolio risk and ESG reporting), and landowners and farmers (high-resolution soil and biodiversity insights). The company operated with 1–10 employees and was led by Hugh Sturrock (CEO, former UC Associate Professor in spatial statistics and remote sensing), Jonathan Smith (CTO, former UN Environment Programme biodiversity informatics analyst), and Charles Wells (Exec Chair, former CEO of JustGiving and HelloSelf). Reference customers included SIAT, Regenerate Outcomes, Carto of Focus, Pastoral, and Earth. On 2024-11-08, Loamin was acquired by Senus, a strategic operating company pursuing global leadership in geospatial land and soil intelligence. Following the acquisition, Loamin operates as part of Senus's platform rather than as an independent entity; the business model combines subscription/API access with bespoke analytics, though pricing is not publicly disclosed and no funding history or revenue figures have been reported.
