Prime Minute
Building a 'resilience prime' for natural-disaster response, starting with all-condition wildfire initial attack
Prime Minute is a Palo Alto company that emerged from stealth on 24 September 2026 with a $15M pre-seed round led by Eclipse, with 8VC participating. It aims to be a 'prime contractor' for public resilience and natural-disaster response, and its first product targets rapid initial attack on wildfires in high wind, at night, in poor visibility and where ground crews cannot reach. The system combines real-time intelligence, AI-assisted mission analysis and precision aerial suppression. Inc. reports that its GPS-guided Precision Guided Suppression Units each deliver about 110 gallons of water or retardant from a range of aircraft and have been tested in Colorado, Oregon, Israel and Uganda. The team includes US and Israeli veterans and alumni of Palantir, Forterra and Datorios. The company is working with the State of Colorado on prototype field evaluations later in 2026.
