I’m super excited to share that we have signed a contract with @SpaceX @Starlink to integrate its mini laser terminals onto our satellites for high bandwidth, low latency connectivity!
Starcloud is excited to announce that we will integrate 50 @SpaceX @Starlink Mini Laser terminals across 25 satellites.  Each of the @Starcloud_ satellites will carry two Starlink Mini Laser terminals, and the first hardware is expected on orbit within one year. Starlink Mini Laser terminals, the same laser crosslink technology that SpaceX developed for its Starlink constellation, provide up to 25 Gbps of continuous intersatellite connectivity at distances up to 4,000 km and are capable of higher link speeds at shorter distances. The terminals enable direct optical links between Starcloud satellites and the Starlink constellation using laser light, eliminating the need for Starcloud to send data directly through bandwidth-constrained ground stations.

A rocketship rocketship! Let's go @PhilipJohnston!! Such a special founder and it's been incredible and educational to watch him build this.
I am super excited to share that @Starcloud_ has raised a $170M Series A at a $1.1bn valuation to fuel our development of data centers in space 🚀 The round comes after the successful deployment of our first satellite, Starcould-1, a few months ago, which had the first @NVIDIA H100 on board and was the first to train an LLM in space. The funds will be used to develop our third satellite, which aims to be cost-competitive with Earth-based data centers in terms of AI inference cost. The round was led by @Benchmark and @EQT Ventures, and we are excited to welcome Benchmark GP, @Chetanp Puttagunta, to our board. We are also excited to welcome other new investors, including the world's largest infrastructure fund, @Macquarie Capital, @SevenSevenSix 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣, Manhattan West, Adjacent, Carya, GSBackers, and Harpoon. We are very grateful for the continued support of existing investors, including @NFX@NebularVC@YCombinator@FUSE_VC@Soma_Capital, 3Capital Partners, Wyld VC, Tiny VC, and Taurus Ventures. Onwards!

One of the hard parts of venture is that generally the bad news comes well before the great news. This is magnified the earlier you invest. It is also more tangible in SPVs since there’s nothing to hide behind. Your bad investments will usually fail before your good ones, hopefully, more than make up for the damage. But that timing misalignment can cause problems if not addressed upfront and proactively. Something to think about for emerging managers when setting and managing investor expectations, particularly with sidecars.

I’m thrilled to announce Baba, The American Healthcare Company. Baba connects older adults and their families with dedicated advocates who can coordinate their care. Our advocates are nurses and social workers who have worked at the front lines of the healthcare system for decades, and who can get folks the resources they need.

Excited to welcome @USVP_ on board as the Series A lead and extremely bullish on what this means for the future of getting life-changing drugs to patients faster.
