Today, we're happy to announce a multi-launch agreement with Planet Labs PBC, a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth.
Providing dependable, customer-driven launch services is at the core of what we are building at Stoke. We're proud to partner with @planet , an industry pioneer that has led by example in growing and evolving commercial space. 🤝🚀

Two weeks after launch, our production satellites are progressing well through commissioning and on schedule to begin delivering Pulsar service in mid-2027.
Our test satellites are doing exactly what they were designed to do: teaching us what updates we need to make to our designs, manufacturing processes, and operations for the next batch of Pulsar satellites which are already in production today. First big software update going up this week. Will share more updates soon.

We're excited to announce that Stoke has been granted Right of Entry (RoE) from Space Launch Delta 45 (SLD 45) to the property just north of our existing SLC-14 launch site.
This expansion will enable the construction of a second launch site to support high-cadence launch and re-entry operations for our Nova launch vehicle. The RoE is the first step to opening more of the Eastern Range to fully and rapidly reusable launch, and we're grateful to SLD 45 for their support.

@Corridian_inc is out of stealth with $38M in seed funding to build ultra-large autonomous underwater vehicles that move payloads across vast ocean distances, out of sight.
We're proud to back the team early alongside @p72vc and fellow investors.
Why we invested in the comments!
Corridian is out of stealth with a $38M seed round led by @p72vc, joined by @balerionspace, @harpoonventures, @DCVC, @Marlinspike.
We build ultra-large autonomous underwater vehicles that carry payloads thousands of nautical miles without a crew: axios.com/2026/11/03/corridi…

Congratulations to @NorthwoodSpace on today's $375 million Series C funding announcement. As satellite constellations continue to grow, scaling the ground infrastructure needed to communicate with spacecraft in orbit is increasingly critical. We're proud to have Northwood as part of the Industrious portfolio.
Today, Northwood is announcing a $375M Series C.
In February of 2024, less than three years ago, we announced Northwood as a small six-person team.
We’ve grown a lot, but the goal stays the same – solve connectivity between Earth and space to take missions further faster.
The world is hungry for more data movement through space, and that is what we're building for, with scalable network capacity for the most challenging use cases.
We are proud to add new partners to our cap table and continue the journey with existing ones as we enter this new chapter.
Thanks to @a16z @DFJvc @WashingHarbour Alpine Space Ventures @stepstone and many others.

We're hiring 7 top engineers in LA: flight software, flight dynamics, AI&T, mechanical, PCB, RF, and technical project lead. We build spacecraft around the mission, from a blank sheet. MERCURY ONE went blank sheet to launch qualified in 9 months. job-boards.greenhouse.io/pro…
Industrious Ventures portfolio company Lunar Outpost/@LunarOutpostInc has completed Preliminary Design Review for its Pegasus Lunar Terrain Vehicle, just four months after securing a $220M NASA contract supporting the Artemis program.
We're proud to back the team as they build the mobility infrastructure needed for a sustained human presence on the Moon.

Congratulations to the Rendezvous Robotics (@rdvrobotics) team on their $20M funding round announced today, co-led by MaC Venture Capital and Toyota Ventures!
Industrious is proud to announce our investment in Rendezvous as they develop technology for spacecraft that can autonomously assemble, reconfigure, and be serviced in orbit, overcoming longstanding limitations on satellite size and capabilities.

Congratulations to Industrious Ventures portfolio company @stoke_space on securing a $150 million conditional loan commitment from the United States Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital!
The financing would support construction of a second launchpad at Cape Canaveral, enabling Stoke to scale its infrastructure for its next-generation Nova rocket. As demand for commercial and national security launch continues to grow, expanding domestic launch capacity is increasingly critical. We're excited to see Stoke continue building toward a future of fully reusable, high-cadence access to space.
Industrious Ventures portfolio company @lanyon_ai is pioneering a new approach to AI-powered scientific computing, combining artificial intelligence with mathematical verification to tackle complex challenges in aerospace, nuclear energy, and beyond.
Starting November 1, Lanyon will begin rolling out pre-release versions of its platform to early customers and testers, with public demos in San Francisco and Chicago.
We're proud to back this exceptional team as they push the boundaries of what's possible in scientific computing. Learn more at lanyon.ai.
A big week for @XonaSpace! Six satellites launched into orbit, followed by a $250M Series D.
We've proudly backed Xona since its Series A and participated in this latest round. Our conviction in the team and the future of commercial satellite navigation has only grown.
When machines are making the decisions, knowing roughly where you are isn't good enough.

6 satellites launched, 6 satellites contacted. Things looking good so far!
A major milestone for Industrious Ventures portfolio company @XonaSpace!
Four of the satellites were designed and built by fellow portfolio company @aerospacelab_ , bringing together two teams advancing the next generation of space infrastructure. The launch marks the beginning of Xona’s commercial constellation deployment, bringing high-precision satellite navigation one step closer to serving customers in 2027.
Six Pulsar satellites deployed successfully on Bandwagon-5.
Commissioning will occur over the weeks ahead in support of serving early customers mid next year.

We’ve been busy. Stay tuned!
Several new investment announcements from @IndustriousVC coming out over the next few weeks. One for the sea. One for the air. And one for everything in between.

Stage 2 has officially left the rocket factory for the last time. 😢🫡
Now in Moses Lake, WA, it will undergo cryo proof testing and then a hotfire campaign with its Andromeda engine before shipment to our launch site in Cape Canaveral, FL.
