Our Mission
Provide every organisation with the confidence that they are using the best possible weather data.
Our Story
Climingo was founded by Dr Avi Baruch and Alper Dincer through the Carbon13 venture builder programme.
After years working across weather, climate, infrastructure, insurance and technology, we saw the same problem repeatedly. Organisations rely on weather and climate data for critical decisions, but choosing the right provider is difficult, inconsistent and often shaped by brand familiarity, existing relationships or limited internal testing.
Climingo was built to change that.
We help organisations compare providers fairly, understand which vendors are best suited to their locations, assets and decisions, and make more confident choices about the data they use.
Our goal is simple: help every customer know they are using the best weather and climate data for their needs.
Leadership
Founded by experienced climate and technology operators
Dr Avi Baruch
Co-Founder and CEO
Avi has spent over a decade at the intersection of academic research and industry, helping organisations make sense of weather and climate data.
His career began in research at Loughborough University, where his PhD work on flood forecasting became the foundation for Previsico, the company he co-founded and scaled through Series A to a team of more than 50, serving insurers, governments, infrastructure operators and major commercial customers.
Along the way he kept seeing the same problem in every sector: a market of hundreds of weather data providers, and no independent way for buyers to know which one is right for them. Climingo was built to fix that.
As CEO, Avi is leading Climingo’s expansion, growing its base of customers and partners across the sectors where weather drives critical decisions.
Alper Dincer
Co-Founder and CTO
Alper Dincer is a geospatial technology and climate-data specialist with more than 20 years of experience building large-scale drought, flood and environmental monitoring systems for governments and international organisations, including UNDP and UNICEF.
At Climingo he brings the same rigorous, data-driven approach to weather forecasting, independently measuring forecast accuracy across providers and helping organisations identify the best data for each location, forecast horizon and use case.
His work has received international recognition, including being selected for the UK Geo100 in 2025 as one of the individuals shaping the UK geospatial sector, and winning the ESRI Developer Summit Mashup Challenge in Palm Springs, California, in 2009. He has developed national and global climate-risk platforms combining weather forecasts, satellite data and geospatial analytics.
