Our disciplines
01

Meteorology

Our team includes professionals with deep experience in operational meteorology, NWS data systems, and severe weather analysis. We understand the data — not just the API.

02

Geospatial Engineering

Decades of experience in spatial databases, point-in-polygon analysis, and GIS systems. We know how to turn geographic data into actionable, location-specific intelligence.

03

Software Engineering

We build production-grade systems designed to scale. Our engineering practice emphasizes reliability, observability, and the kind of operational discipline that high-stakes applications demand.

Who we are

Built by practitioners,
for practitioners

Updraft Labs LLC was founded on a simple observation: professional-grade weather intelligence has always been locked behind enterprise contracts, six-figure budgets, and sales cycles measured in months. The industries that need it most — property managers, outdoor contractors, municipalities, emergency responders — are paying for it with liability exposure, not software subscriptions.

We are a team of meteorological, geospatial, and software engineering professionals with decades of combined experience in the systems that underpin how organizations respond to environmental risk. We built careers in these fields before we built software for them.

Our mission is to make the tools we always wished we had accessible to anyone willing to pay for a software subscription — not an enterprise sales process.
