Launch HN: Albedo (YC W21) – Highest resolution satellite imagery

I would consider myself straddling the hobbyist/professional line in geospatial computer vision, where high-resolution imagery is very much needed but very expensive.

I have lots of small projects I want to work on, but can't bring myself to pay $20-30/km^2 with a high minimum coverage area. Would Albedo help this very small section of the market?

I'd like to continue on these side projects and hopefully use it to build something greater, but the high entry costs make experimentation difficult.

This is exactly what we want to enable! We're hoping to offer 1 sq. km. minimum order sizes (for tasking, archive will have no minimum) to help grow both the hobbyist and even commercial applications as best as we can.

Just curious: have you looked into third-party resellers? They typically have low minimum order sizes and are fairly reasonable, even with a smaller budget.
