Overview
EagleView Technologies is a geospatial technology company headquartered in Rochester, New York. Its business centers on high-resolution aerial imagery, property intelligence, three-dimensional models, and measurement data used by organizations that need to assess, estimate, monitor, or manage physical structures and land. The company is particularly associated with roof measurement and property-inspection workflows, but its capabilities extend across insurance claims, roofing and construction, solar installation, government, utilities, telecommunications, and other applications that depend on accurate views of buildings and sites. The company was founded in 2008 by Chris Pershing and Dave Carlson. Its initial proposition was to use aerial imagery and algorithms to derive roof dimensions and areas without requiring a worker to visit the property and manually measure it. This approach addressed a persistent problem in roofing and property services: estimates and inspections could be slow, costly, inconsistent, and dependent on climbing roofs or sending personnel into potentially hazardous conditions. EagleView's reports translated imagery into practical measurements and visual documentation for contractors, adjusters, and other users. The company broadened its offering during the early 2010s. EagleView SunSite, introduced in 2011, applied aerial and three-dimensional roof analysis to solar projects, including estimates of solar exposure, roof orientation, rafter lengths, and panel-grid layout. In 2012, the company added wall measurement reports covering siding, walls, and windows, expanding its usefulness beyond roof-only assessments. In 2013, EagleView merged with Pictometry International, an aerial-imagery provider. The combination brought together EagleView's measurement-focused technology and Pictometry's imagery capabilities, helping establish a broader geospatial data platform. EagleView continued developing tools for sales, estimating, inspection, and project planning. Its 2014 QuickSquares report and app allowed users to create customized estimate materials containing an aerial image of a proposed property, supporting customer presentations and pre-sale workflows. Over time, the company's data products evolved from individual reports toward connected software, application programming interfaces, automated analysis, and three-dimensional property intelligence. Ownership and financing also changed as the company expanded. Vista Equity Partners acquired EagleView in June 2015. Clearlake Capital provided additional funding in 2018. These transactions supported the company's development as a specialized software and data business, although EagleView remained a private company rather than a publicly traded issuer. More recent initiatives have emphasized automation and platform access. In 2022, EagleView introduced EagleView Assess, which used autonomous drones to capture roof measurements and condition information. In 2023, the company announced a Developer Portal with documentation and APIs for imagery, insights, and three-dimensional models. The portal was positioned around access to a large imagery catalog, including oblique and orthographic aerial imagery collected over many years, as well as property attributes such as measurements, materials, condition, age, and risk indicators. In 2025, EagleView launched EagleView One, a platform intended to give organizations a unified way to access the company's geospatial intelligence. The platform combines high-resolution imagery, including imagery at resolutions of up to one inch ground sample distance, with property measurements, structure identification, quality insights, and three-dimensional models. This reflects EagleView's broader shift from selling individual measurement reports toward providing an extensible geospatial intelligence layer that customers can use through software products, APIs, and industry-specific workflows.
History
EagleView Technologies was established in 2008 by Chris Pershing and Dave Carlson as a technology company focused on deriving useful property measurements from aerial imagery. Its original roof-measurement system used algorithms to estimate roof size and area, allowing roofing and property professionals to obtain measurements without sending a person onto the structure. This helped address the safety, labor, and consistency challenges associated with traditional field measurement. The company expanded its product scope in 2011 with EagleView SunSite, a three-dimensional roofing report designed for solar integrators and installers. SunSite provided estimates related to solar exposure, roof orientation, rafter lengths, and panel-grid configuration. In 2012, EagleView added wall measurement reports covering siding, walls, and windows, extending its analysis to additional exterior building components. A major corporate development occurred in 2013, when EagleView merged with Pictometry International. Pictometry contributed aerial-imagery capabilities, while EagleView brought measurement-oriented technology and industry workflows. The merger created a broader platform for imagery-based property analysis. In 2014, the company introduced QuickSquares and the associated QuickSquares app. These tools enabled customized estimate reports that included an aerial image of a proposed property, making the imagery useful not only for measurement but also for sales and customer communication. Vista Equity Partners acquired EagleView in June 2015. Clearlake Capital provided additional funding in 2018. The company remained privately held while continuing to develop products for roofing, insurance, solar, construction, government, and other sectors that use property and geospatial data. EagleView's later development moved toward automation, remote inspection, and platform-based access. EagleView Assess, introduced in 2022, used autonomous drones to capture roof measurements and condition information. In 2023, the company announced a Developer Portal that exposed documentation and APIs for imagery, insights, and three-dimensional models. The portal was designed to let developers incorporate EagleView's imagery catalog and property data into their own applications and workflows. In 2025, EagleView launched EagleView One, presenting its imagery and analytical capabilities through a broader geospatial-intelligence platform. The offering combined high-resolution imagery with measurements, structure identification, quality indicators, and three-dimensional property models. Across its history, EagleView has therefore progressed from a roof-measurement reporting tool into a private geospatial-data and software provider serving multiple built-environment and asset-management use cases.
