Summary of Federal Cooperative Agreement Award

Vayuh Inc. received a $1.25 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II Cooperative Agreement from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. The company is developing a next-generation risk prediction platform that integrates physics-based atmospheric models with artificial intelligence and deep learning to enhance hazard forecasting on sub-seasonal to seasonal timescales. The platform will deliver high-resolution hazard maps, probabilistic risk assessments, and synthetic scenario generation capabilities designed to improve predictive accuracy for destructive weather events and natural disasters.

The deliverable products include a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform with Application Programming Interface (API)-based integration into industry-standard risk assessment tools, supported by a tiered subscription model for insurance and enterprise clients. Key technical innovations encompass multi-peril modeling architectures, stochastic event simulation engines, uncertainty quantification methodologies, and scalable data infrastructure enabling real-time access. Upon completion, the platform is expected to significantly improve risk quantification for global insurance and reinsurance markets, enabling more precise pricing, reduced coverage gaps, and enhanced resource allocation for government agencies, energy providers, and supply chain operators. The work is performed in Oakland, California.
