Spanish startup Xoople raised $130M to build AI-powered earth monitoring systems, bringing total funding to $225M. The company spent seven years in stealth developing data pipelines before launching satellites, partnering with L3Harris for sensors and embedding in Microsoft/Esri platforms first. Commercial launch planned for Q2 2026.
