Capabilities include symmetric multi-gigabit throughput, Layer 2 MPLS networking, end-to-end encryption, and electronic warfare (EW) resilience. Designed as a dual-use system (civilian and military) with hardened satellites and a mesh architecture to maintain service during disruption. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Total Funding**: USD $50 million (Series A led by US Innovative Technology Fund, announced June 2025). Total funding to date is $50M, with USIT as the sole investor. - **Key Metric**: 22–38 employees (rapidly growing; headcount up 416% year-over-year); 59 active job postings as of mid-2026. - **Notable Investors / Partners**: US Innovative Technology Fund (chaired by serial entrepreneur Thomas Tull). Key hires from SpaceX, NASA, Airbus, OneWeb, and Apollo Fusion. - **Growth Signals**: FCC grant for satellite spectrum license (Feb 2026) authorizing up to 4,178 satellites; emerged from stealth in Oct 2024; aiming for first operational satellite in late 2027; aggressive hiring across engineering, RF, software, and business development. ## Competitive Advantages - **Dual-use focus**: Purpose-built for government and enterprise, not consumer – enabling higher security, guaranteed service, and resilience requirements. - **EW-resilient design**: Architecture minimizes signal disruption and resists jamming through high-elevation angles, tightly focused beams, and hardened satellites. - **Unique spectrum portfolio**: FCC-approved use of Q, V, Ka and E bands – high-frequency bands that are less congested and offer higher bandwidth. - **Fiber-like performance at scale**: Symmetric multi-Gbps throughput with Layer 2 MPLS and end-to-end encryption, filling a gap underserved by existing LEO providers. - **Experienced leadership**: Founder Milo Medin (Google access services, NASA) and a deeply experienced technical team from top aerospace and satellite organizations. ## Strategic Focus - Complete critical design decisions, select partners, and build prototypes. - Scale engineering team from ~30 to 70+ employees through 2026. - Deploy first operational satellite by late 2027 and begin constellation build-out. - Continue engaging with U.S. regulators and potential government/enterprise customers. ## Why Work Here - **Mission-driven**: Work on a “next-generation” communications infrastructure that addresses real national security and enterprise resilience needs. - **Culture & values**: No silos, no politics; treat people with respect; debate, decide, commit; continuous learning; customer focus. Operating principles explicitly discourage unprofessional behavior. - **Growth opportunity**: Start-up stage with significant funding, clear milestone, and aggressive hiring – opportunity to shape technology and team. - **Work policy**: In-office (typically 5 days a week) at Mountain View or Redwood City, CA locations. - **Teams**: Engineering, product, operations, and business development roles heavily represented; emphasis on space, RF, embedded software, and network engineering. ## Sources 1.
