JetBlue Technology Ventures’ Portfolio Company Tomorrow.io to List on Nasdaq Through Merger With Pine Technology

Tomorrow.io demonstrates JetBlue Technology Ventures’ commitment to foster innovation at JetBlue Airways through its strategic investments.

SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JetBlue Technology Ventures (JTV), the corporate venture capital subsidiary of JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU), today congratulates its portfolio company The Tomorrow Companies Inc. (Tomorrow.io) on the announcement of its intended merger with special purpose acquisition company Pine Technology Acquisition Corp. (Pine Technology). Once finalized, the combined company will be named Tomorrow.io and its common stock is expected to be listed on Nasdaq for public trade.

Tomorrow.io delivers operational insights to help organizations prepare for the business impact of weather and automates decision-making to enable climate adaptation at scale. The company aligns with JTV’s commitment to identifying next-generation aviation operations and enterprise technology.

Following its initial investment in 2017, JTV assisted JetBlue in launching a trial of Tomorrow.io’s Weather and Climate Security Platform at five JetBlue focus cities. Today, the technology is currently in use throughout the JetBlue network to reduce airport costs associated with weather-related cancellations or delays and to increase safety within ground operations.

“Aviation is an industry heavily impacted by weather on a day-to-day basis, which made Tomorrow.io a natural investment fit for JetBlue Technology Ventures. Since that time, it has consistently delivered valuable returns to JetBlue by minimizing operational airport disruptions. Its continued technological advancements and customer momentum lead us to believe that when it comes to predicting the weather of the future, there will be blue skies ahead,” said Amy Burr, President of JTV.

To further contribute to Tomorrow.io’s success, JTV has committed to a private investment in public equity (PIPE). The PIPE includes commitments from other institutional investors including funds managed by Koch Strategic Platforms, National Grid Partners, SB Energy Corp., SoftBank Group’s Japanese wholly-owned subsidiary, as well as Pine Technology’s sponsor, Pine Technology Sponsor LLC.

“JetBlue Technology Ventures has served as a strategic investor since our company’s founding. We’re eager to continue working with the JetBlue team to provide cutting-edge operations tools and weather technology for safer and more efficient skies,” said Shimon Elkabetz, Co-founder and CEO of Tomorrow.io.

Information about the proposed transaction, including a copy of the merger agreement and investor presentation, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Pine Technology with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and will be available at www.sec.gov.
