The space‑infrastructure startup closed a Series C round that values the company at $2 billion, funding its push to scale antenna hardware and satellite‑software solutions.

Northwood Space has secured a $375 million Series C financing round, propelling its valuation to $2 billion as it accelerates development of next‑generation satellite antenna hardware and software platforms.

Funding round details

The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz and DFJ Growth, with participation from existing investors. The capital will be allocated toward scaling manufacturing capacity for the company’s phased‑array antennas and expanding its cloud‑based satellite‑operations software suite.

Strategic focus on antenna technology

Northwood Space’s antenna designs aim to reduce the size, weight, and power consumption of ground terminals, enabling more flexible deployment for both commercial and government satellite constellations. The company plans to double its production output within the next 18 months.

Software platform expansion

In parallel, the firm is enhancing its end‑to‑end software platform that provides real‑time telemetry, command, and data handling services. The platform is positioned to support emerging low‑Earth‑orbit (LEO) networks and to integrate with existing ground‑segment solutions.

  • Scale phased‑array antenna manufacturing
  • Broaden satellite‑software feature set
  • Hire additional RF and software engineers
  • Expand sales and customer support teams

The infusion of capital also allows Northwood Space to explore strategic partnerships with satellite operators seeking to modernize their ground infrastructure, a market segment that has seen rapid growth as LEO constellations expand.
