About Look Up Geoscience

Look Up Geoscience, established in May 2024, is a deep-tech company based in Montpellier, France, focused on accelerating the energy transition. The firm was co-founded by CEO Sébastien Lacaze, who previously founded and led Eliis, a software editor for the oil and gas market, for seventeen years. He is joined by co-founders Ehssan Mesbahi and Nicolas Cami. The leadership team includes professionals such as Aloïse Chabbert as Product Owner, Mariane Peter-Borie as R&D Manager, and Fabien Cubizolle as Head of Geophysics, among others. The company's mission is to simplify the exploration of subsurface resources essential for renewable energy, such as geothermal sources and natural hydrogen.

The core of Look Up Geoscience's offering is the development of a next-generation, all-in-one software platform designed to be intuitive and accessible for geoscientists. This platform aims to function as a "Google Earth" for the subsurface, enabling users to integrate, visualize in 2D and 3D, and analyze a wide range of scattered and heterogeneous geoscientific data—including geophysical, geochemical, and geological information. The software is being co-constructed with a community of users to ensure it meets their needs, prioritizing the 20% of functionalities that deliver 80% of user value. Its primary benefit is to streamline the interpretation workflow, reduce uncertainties by allowing joint interpretation of different data types, and accelerate decision-making for resource exploration. The first commercial product, a visualization software, is planned for launch in the second half of 2025.

Look Up Geoscience operates on a dual model, providing both its software solution and tailor-made consulting services for geothermal and natural hydrogen exploration. The business targets geologists, geophysicists, and other professionals in the energy sector, operating in France, Europe, and internationally. By creating a tool that simplifies the aggregation and reading of complex data, the company addresses the need for more varied data analysis compared to traditional oil and gas software. This approach is designed to support the rapidly growing global interest in geothermal energy and the emerging field of natural hydrogen exploration.
