Flash Weather AI

Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Flash Weather AI is the AI weather forecasting and safety brand of Flash Scientific Technology Inc., incorporated in Delaware on August 14, 2020. Its machine-learning services process atmospheric data to forecast weather hazards including lightning and hail and deliver location-specific forecasts through APIs, a mobile app and a Weather Command Center. Flash Shield combines alerts with physical warning hardware for outdoor facilities. Customers and use cases include golf, sports, schools, agronomy and outdoor operations. Founder and CEO Jason Deese brings research meteorology experience. Its announced 2024 acquisition of T3 extends agronomic measurement services; consideration was not disclosed. The company reports participation in NVIDIA Inception, which provides ecosystem support and does not establish an NVIDIA cash investment. Forecast accuracy and resolution figures published by Flash are its own marketing claims rather than independently verified performance. Solyco Capital identifies the company in its investment portfolio. Historical issuer securities disclosures establish several completed cash financings, while crowdfunding targets and platform fees are not treated as new investments.
