We're incredibly excited to announce our $50M Series A, led by @altcap and @ekriessmann at Altimeter Capital, bringing total capital raised to $66M. With this new round of financing we'll de-risk the K2 bus with its first in-space mission, scale up mass production and continue.
Exclusive: @K2SpaceCo raised $50 million in an equity round led by @altcap, as the developer of monster satellites prepares for its first demonstration mission later this year.

Neel and Karan sat down with @breadfrom from @TechCrunch to discuss new contracts, funding and hardware development. The future platform in space has higher power, can handle higher orbits, and can be delivered rapidly - filling a significant gap in our current industrial base.
Cost-per-kilogram of mass informs everything from spacecraft design to scientific mission planning. With next-gen launch vehicles like Starship coming online, @K2SpaceCo sees a different future on the horizon.
