SStarcloud builds megawatt-scale data centers in low Earth orbit to supply AI compute. Its satellites host large GPU clusters and storage, and customers access resources over the network with usage-based pricing similar to cloud services. The system relies on solar power and vacuum cooling in space to deliver energy-efficient operation, reducing terrestrial bottlenecks such as land, water, and grid limits. Starcloud aims to extend digital compute beyond Earth’s surface to enable scalable, sustainable, and affordable AI workloads.

Starcloud, a Redmond startup that went through Y Combinator in summer 2024, has raised $170 million in a Series A at a $1.1 billion valuation. The company became the first to run an Nvidia H100 GPU in orbit in November 2025, launching its 60-kilogram Starcloud-1 satellite. The company has filed with the FCC for an 88,000-satellite constellation and plans its next launch for October 2026, carrying multiple H100 chips and Nvidia's Blackwell hardware. CEO Philip Johnston positions Starcloud as infrastructure rather than cloud computing, initially targeting military and government customers before expanding to major cloud providers. Competition is intensifying, with Google planning prototype satellites by 2027, SpaceX filing for up to one million satellites, and Blue Origin developing gigawatt-scale orbital facilities.
YC CEO Garry Tan reports Starcloud (formerly Lumen Orbit) has reached a $1B valuation just 17 months after Demo Day, making it the fastest YC company ever to achieve this milestone. The company builds data centers in orbit.
