"In space, everything is a camping trip. You have to take everything with you, and if you didn't bring it with you, you're out of luck. And that is an impediment to the commercialization, industrialization and exploration of any arena, including space. And so that's why we're trying to build this power grid [in space]. To have infrastructure so that it's just as easy to build a business in space as it is on the ground." - Andrew Rush, Co-founder & CEO Listen to our Co-founder & CEO on the most recent episode of the Ex Terra Podcast at the link below, or wherever you get your podcasts! https://lnkd.in/gDd6GDsg

We are thrilled to announce the public launch of Star Catcher and the close of our $12.25M Seed Round! Our mission is to eliminate the constraints of power generation on space. To do this, we are building the Star Catcher Network, the world's first power grid in space, for space.   Led by our founders Andrew Rush, Michael Snyder, and Bryan Lyandvert, Star Catcher offers:   Power to Do More - The Star Catcher Network will beam power from our own satellites to customer satellites, constellations, orbital data centers, and space stations to give them more power and high concentrations of power to enable them to increase capability, uptime, mission life, and more.   No Retrofit Required - Power is provided to the client's existing solar arrays in the form of light from the portion of the spectrum that solar arrays are highly efficient at converting to electricity. No custom receiver is required meaning satellites flying or in final design today are compatible with the Star Catcher Network!   Enhancing Satellite Power - The Star Catcher Network can provide the power you need in LEO when and where you need it. From a few hundred Watts to dozens of kilowatts and at concentrations varying from 1 Sun of flux to 10 Suns of flux, enabling your existing solar panels to generate up to 10 times the power they make without the Star Catcher Network.   Shift CapEx to OpEx and Save Overall - Using the Star Catcher Network enables you to deliver missions with five or ten times more demanding power budgets without having to buy a satellite bus that is five to ten times more expensive. Our pay-as-you-go pricing lets you operate at much higher power levels with more cost effective spacecraft.   We are grateful to our talented and experienced investors, especially our co leads Initialized Capital and B Capital ! In particular, thank you Howard Morgan, Brett Gibson, and Andrew Sather. With their support and conviction, we are well positioned to make our vision of a power constraint free space a reality.    Learn more about Star Catcher: www.star-catcher.com We're hiring!
