When me and Jose Acain started AstroForge, it was about dreaming bigger than anyone else. Today, we are one step closer to realizing that dream. We are excited to announce our Series A fundraising, securing an additional $40 million to advance our goal of mining the cosmos. The round was led by Nova Threshold, with participation from Seven Seven Six 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣. Initialized Capital, Jed McCaleb, Victor Vescovo, Y Combinator, Salil Deshpande, Soma Capital, Day One Ventures We also give some insight into our third mission, the first private mission to land on a body outside the earth-moon system. Welcome to the spotlight, Vestri. Thanks to Eric Berger - glad we got to chat again!
Against all odds, an asteroid mining company appears to be making headway

AstroForge has had some successes and some failures and we continue to learn from them every step of the way. These points in time have led us to an exciting milestone: raising $40M in Series A funding led by Nova Threshold with participation from Seven Seven Six 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣, Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Caladan Capital (Victor Vescovo), Uncorrelated Ventures (Salil Deshpande), Jed McCaleb, Day One Ventures, 468 Capital, and Soma Capital. This brings our total funding to $55M. This capital will propel us towards our next milestone, Mission 3: Vestri. Our team is taking learnings from our first missions to build this spacecraft in-house, and we’ll use Intuitive Machines’ rideshare on its third lunar mission in 2025. Excited to continue pushing boundaries.

When something fails, you have two choices. Either you accept it, or take on the challenge of solving it. 4 months ago, AstroForge had to make that choice but in an extreme way with our deep space vehicle. It failed in a number of ways and we had to ask ourselves, what do we do about it? The picture below is the result of the choice that we made at AstroForge. Welcome to the world, Odin. Same name, new vehicle. You can read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gcJhM4QS #asteroids #deepspace #spaceAF #odin #lfg

Our CEO Matt Gialich had a great conversation with @cnn discussing the abundant potential of resources in space. AstroForge is revolutionizing the space industry with groundbreaking advancements in asteroid mining. Check out this piece to learn more about how AstroForge is paving the way for a new era of resource extraction. #SpaceExploration #Innovation #AsteroidMining
I got to chat with Amy Gunia at CNN about AstroForge's role in revolutionizing the space industry through asteroid mining. AstroForge is set to mine the universe for its resources, a necessary step in ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same quality of life that we do today. It takes big visions and even bigger dreams to change the world. This isn't for the faint of heart; what we are doing is full of risks, but the rewards are worth it.faint of heart, what we are doing is full of risks, but the rewards are worth it. #SpaceExploration #Innovation #AsteroidMining #AstroForge #yolo
