Since its the perfect time to announce we're coming out of stealth, hello world!
We're K2 Space - We're building large satellites for a post-Starship future.
Learn a bit more about what we're working here:
Exclusive – Meet K2 Space, the startup led by brothers Karan & Neel Kunjur, designing and building massive spacecraft:
“With the new launch capabilities of vehicles like Starship, there's actually an interesting opportunity to go the opposite direction.”

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.

Today marks the beginning of a new era in spaceflight - an era of mass abundance. Here are the things that are now possible with Starship and K2 Space’s spacecraft:
- Constellations of high-power satellites, with the ability to deploy over 40+ of K2 Spaces’s 20kW satellites,
Starship re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Views through the plasma

Amazing first full-scale test by
@SpaceX
and nice to see the ground assets unscathed. The promise of vastly increased mass and volume to orbit is getting closer. We aim to be ready to take advantage of it. Good luck to the SpaceX team as they prepare for the next test.

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.

Someone's got to participate in the revolution. We are stepping into the arena.
Many people in the Space world have been saying that the world hasn’t come to terms with 150 ton payload capacity. I think that’s correct. It will be revolutionary but nobody can predict how, yet.

Thank you to
@itsmoislam
for hosting our founders on the Pathfinder podcast. We think we laid out a pretty compelling set of reasons for why we believe we are going to succeed. We are looking to add talented and driven individuals who share our vision. Let's go big!🛰️
Today's Pathfinder pod features
@K2SpaceCo
and sibling cofounders
@KaranKunjur
& Neel Kunjur.
K2 is taking advantage of the anticipated lack of mass constraints in a post-Starship world by designing low-cost, high-capability satellites weighing up to 10 tons.

🧐 Roll up your sleeves y'all. There is hard work ahead.
But clearly, it's time to disrupt.
In a panel about large strategic missions at the Goddard symposium, some interest but also some caution about using future large launchers for space telescopes: offer more mass and volume, but that is best used as margin; also concerns about if/when vehicles will be available.

We are excited about Earth Observation and investigating more ways to help address climate change from space. Lots of power and real estate will be available on our busses to do things that were impractical before.
@SpaceAbhi
Amazing! Look forward to the Earth observation use cases this will enable, especially now that the constraints of satellite platforms are removed. Edge compute and inter-satellite data links come to mind, so much more to be unlocked!
