From Idea To Reality
LaGrand was founded in 2023 by Sven Büeler and Hanspeter Keel, inspired by the transformative “new space” era that has revolutionized the possibilities of satellite data.
The founders combine their unique expertise to bring this vision to life. Sven, with his proven track record in software development and mathematics, ensures the algorithms and systems operate seamlessly. Hanspeter, leveraging his deep understanding of the space industry and industrial applications, bridges the gap between technical innovation and real-world customer benefits.
Drawing from the groundbreaking research of Zhou in 2018, LaGrand enhanced and tested an initial algorithm designed to monitor and track production sites. Early results demonstrated the value of this highly innovative approach, showing strong performance compared to traditional investment methods such as those used in the S&P 500. These results validated the potential of leveraging satellite data for real-world industrial applications and inspired further algorithmic refinements. Today, LaGrand’s solution integrates a diverse range of space-based datasets, unlocking even greater possibilities.
Encouraged by positive market feedback, Sven and Hanspeter decided to transform their idea into a business. Today, LaGrand benefits from the support of a robust startup ecosystem and an expanding network of partners.
The future is bright for LaGrand. While currently focusing on the steel industry, the team is already preparing to apply their solution to other industries, paving the way for new and innovative applications.
