Glad to continue to support such an impactful company! Excited for the years ahead.
We’ve closed a $350M Series E led by @EclipseVC with participation from @NVIDIA’s NVentures.
The oversubscribed round fuels growth across our two core business lines: Critical Materials + Energy Storage.
We’re building a resilient U.S. energy future.

Moving on up to higher orbits!
We’ve raised a $300M Series C to #MobilizeSpace. 🚀
It’s one of the largest venture rounds in space industry history—and it means we’re growing our team and scaling production to keep accelerating in-space mobility.
Since our founding in 2021, we’ve flown two successful Mira missions, signed over 30 commercial and government contracts, and maintained our timeline to deliver Helios in 2026.
We’re building the infrastructure to move anything, anywhere in space. And we’re just getting started.

We’re excited to announce the close of our $150M Series B funding round, led by Founders Fund, bringing our total raised to $225M. This investment will drive continued development of our Helios and Mira vehicles. 🌌 (1/5)

They were at 250k 2 months ago. And over 400k today. Where will they be at year end? How about at end of 2023? Could the Terminal bottleneck be resolved?😉 🚀

Here comes the aviation market getting on the Starlink train. How big of a market is this? What is the profit margin and what market share will SpaceX take? @SawyerMerritt @robmaurer @Gfilche wsj.com/articles/delta-air-l…
