About Us:

Understory generates real-time, localized, atmospheric data, powered by its dense grids of proprietary weather stations. We are building the next generation of weather data and you can be an integral part of the team. Our weather stations are being carefully crafted for their first deployment and the atmospheric measurements are the most important asset. Our small company of three recently raised a seed round of $1.9 million and we are looking to grow our team.

We are currently working out of the Bolt (bolt.io) space in downtown Boston. It is an awesome office with great people, a ton of rapid prototyping equipment, idea paint conference rooms, full kitchen, smash bros melee, free coffee, and (sometimes) free beer. Come check it out!

Use statistical and machine learning techniques with our proprietary sensor data to help solve the current data sparsity problem.
