Understory - <a href="http://www.understoryweather.com" > - Boston, MA
About Us:
Understory isn't your typical company using an agile social-based platform that mobilizes advertising with real-time commercial insight -- wait, actually, we aren't a advertising company at all. Understory builds weather grids that create real data and use it to provide analytics to enterprise companies so that they can see how to respond to severe weather disasters. And maybe, just maybe, help humanity along the way with better thunderstorm, hail, and tornado predictions.
Understory currently is a team of five people and, with our recent funding of $1.9 million, we are adding some new members to the team. Our team works hard, but also takes time to let off steam -- playing board games, heading to the local climbing gym (company provided membership), and having a beer around the Understory kegerator.
Our team is excited as we are currently deploying weather stations out in the field and receiving our first datasets, come join us on the ground floor of building a completely new data set and platform that has a huge impact on everyday life!
If that sounds like something you are interested in, check out our positions!
