Satellites on Fire Is Stopping Wildfires Before They Start
At just 16, Franco Rodríguez Viau co-founded Satellites on Fire, an AI-powered early warning system now protecting 56 million hectares across 19 countries and preventing over 400 wildfires in recent months.
Backed by Techstars, the UN Green Climate Fund, and Reddit’s Alexis Ohanian, Franco is turning cutting-edge technology into a tool for global resilience.
As a winner of the Global Citizen and PayPal Small Business Impact Awards, Franco received $25,000 to continue scaling innovation that protects our planet’s most vulnerable ecosystems.
