Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, costly, and operationally complex, while the first hour of a wildfire often determines whether it is contained or becomes a major disaster; Prime Minute targets the gap between detection, decision, and action with AI-assisted mission analysis and precision aerial suppression designed to work in wind, smoke, darkness, and inaccessible terrain. Its $15 million pre-seed led by Eclipse and joined by 8VC funds technology development, local manufacturing, testing, and team expansion as it works with Colorado on field evaluation, making the bet one on integrating national-security-style hardware, software, and operations into public resilience.
