Real-time Macro Intelligence for Decisions that Move Markets
Satellites orbit the Earth every day, capturing a continuous view of the physical economy in motion. Atlas Analytics turns that imagery into economic intelligence.
Our proprietary algorithms, ROY (Remote Orbital Yield) and JACK (Joint Algorithm for Containerized Knowledge), leverage satellite imagery, AI/ML, and computer vision to extract information from the built environment and convert it into numerical data. By comparing these satellite-derived signals to historical economic indicators, Atlas identifies patterns that can help forecast future economic activity.
Official economic statistics are often reported with meaningful delays and revised after the fact. Our technology provides a faster view into the health of the economy by observing what is happening on the ground in real time.
Atlas currently forecasts GDP on a national, state, and municipality level within the United States and is in active development in other major economies and regions where timely economic data is limited, delayed, or unavailable.
Our Origin Story
Atlas Analytics was founded by Jake Schneider with the belief that satellite imagery could fundamentally improve how investors, policymakers, and defense agencies understand the economy and market. A concept developed during his time working under former Federal Chairman, Alan Greenspan.
What began as a question, whether observable activity from space could help predict economic outcomes, has grown into a proprietary platform for transforming satellite imagery into macroeconomic signals serving hedge funds, family offices and universities. Atlas has continued refining its models, expanding its data sources, and building new algorithms to forecast key components of economic activity.
Jake Schneider is the Founder and CEO of Atlas Analytics. His background spans economics, strategy, public policy, and financial markets, with prior experience at Bain & Company, The World Bank, The Brookings Institution, and Alan Greenspan’s consulting firm. He holds graduate degrees from Harvard University and Oxford University, and an undergraduate degree from The College of William & Mary.
