Cowboy Space Corporation is building a power grid in outer space for artificial intelligence. Using an integrated system of satellites and rockets, we will send high-performance compute and optical data transmission to Low Earth Orbit.
Our constellation of satellites, Stampede, will harness abundant solar power to run on-orbit GPU data centers. With each launch, Stampede grows the power and compute capacity for humanity. Earths energy grid cant run at the pace of AI. We can.
AI is driving the largest infrastructure buildout in recent history, and the power grid on planet Earth cant keep pace. In major US markets, average grid connection lead times for new data centers can run 5-7 years or more. Meanwhile, AI demand is flat-out outgrowing Earths pastures.
Full-Stack Architecture: Traditional architecture treats the rocket as a workhorse and the satellite as freight. In our system, the rockets upper stage is the satellite itself. Its a 1-megawatt data center with active thermal management and integrated compute, designed as one unified vehicle from the ground up.
We trim the fat on redundant structure and avionics, dedicating every possible kilogram of compute to Low Earth Orbit.
By owning our manufacturing and dedicated launch sites, we vertically integrate core technologies that enable deploying compute at scale.
We’ve raised a $275M Series B at a $2B valuation led by Index Ventures, with participation from new investors IVP, Blossom Capital, and SAIC, alongside existing investors Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Construct Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, Interlagos and Baiju Bhatt.

Albedo is developing low-flying satellites that will capture visible and thermal imagery at the highest resolution commercially available. By making aerial quality imagery globally available, easy to purchase, and transparent to task, we aim to catalyze market growth and spur new applications.
The world is rapidly changing and a new level of visibility and transparency is required to solve some of our largest problems. Albedo’s 10cm visible and 2m thermal imagery will fuel insights for industries such as mapping, insurance, utilities, solar, agriculture, carbon offsets, infrastructure sustainability, national security, and much more.

Neutral dairy milk is the only 100% carbon neutral milk in the U.S. This means every carton of Neutral milk you buy has a carbon footprint of zero! Each carton contributes money to funding carbon-reducing projects on our partner farms. Our whole and 2 % milk is an easy and consistent way to make a better choice for the planet and to support farmers in making critical changes to reduce the impact of agriculture. Were optimistic about our future and pour all our love into every carton of Neutrals delicious milk.

Nature’s Fynd is a Chicago-based food company creating versatile alternative proteins to nourish the world’s growing population while nurturing the planet. Born out of research conducted for NASA on microbes in Yellowstone National Park, the company’s breakthrough technology produces Fy™. Fy is a new-to-the-world, nutritional fungi protein that only uses a fraction of the resources required by traditional agriculture. We use Fy to make delicious, nutritious, and sustainable meat and dairy alternatives.
