In response to “Its all about the Money” by Devan Dass. 

With Urthecast being opened during 2014, it It is a true project of the future. Being the worlds first online stream of earth from space, it gives a whole new aspect of earth from convectional applications like google earth, and bing maps.

In his post “Its all about the money” Devan Dass talked about how Wade Larson, the Co-Founder and Executive VP was talking about the difficulties of finding financing, and how it is hard to believe a company with so many opportunities have such a hard time finding angel investors. I think because the company has a lack of actual progress, and has a short time contract of only 10 years has a huge impact on why investors are not investing. Urthecast is truly a product that stands out, but investors are unsure if it can compete with big named companies such as google and microsoft.

But because the fact Urthecast is using two cameras mounted on the international space system, it allows footage of going around the world 16 times a day, while google maps has some parts that have not been updated in a few years. This extra data makes you be able to see video streams only with a few hour delay which is unbelievable, and would make anyone want to use their program and site, which in my opinion catch any investors eye.
