Company Overview

Planck (formerly Planck Resolution) is a Tel Aviv-based AI data company founded in 2016 that provides automated data enrichment for commercial insurance underwriting. The platform uses satellite imagery, computer vision, geospatial analysis, and natural language processing to automatically generate detailed commercial property and business intelligence from minimal input data like a business name and address.

Planck has raised over $71M in venture capital from investors including Team8 Capital, Viola Ventures, and Arbor Ventures. The company serves major insurance carriers including Republic Indemnity and HMIC, providing AI-generated risk insights that replace manual underwriting inspections with automated geospatial intelligence.

Dual-use relevance is very high: the core technology of fusing satellite imagery, aerial photography, computer vision, and geospatial analytics to generate comprehensive intelligence about locations, properties, and businesses is directly applicable to military geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), target analysis, battle damage assessment, infrastructure mapping, and intelligence preparation of the battlefield. The automated data fusion and property characterization capabilities are analogous to military automated target recognition and geospatial intelligence production.
