## About

Based in Germany and founded in 2018 by CEO Christian Schmierer, Mario Kobald, COO Konstantin Tomilin and CTO Ulrich Fischer, HyImpulse Technologies GmbH is focused on providing advanced space launch capabilities. In August 2026, HyImpulse Technologies GmbH raised EUR 50 million in series A funding co-led by OMVP, Join Capital and Ace Capital Partners, with participation from Thesiger, NRW.Venture, Bayern Kapital, BW Capital Partners, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. and North Ventures Global Resilience Innovation Fund and Campus Founders Fund.

HyImpulse Technologies GmbH focuses on advancing space access through its primary product, the HyImpulse small satellite launcher. This innovative launcher is powered by a proprietary hybrid engine that utilizes a paraffin-based fuel, distinguishing it from conventional kerosene propellants in terms of safety, efficiency, and environmental impact. The company targets a variety of use cases including commercial satellite deployment, scientific research, and other low-Earth-orbit applications, aiming to establish a robust industrial hub in space. HyImpulse's offerings cater to a diverse client base, including satellite operators, research institutions, and governmental space agencies across Europe, North America, and Asia. By streamlining the costs associated with launching payloads, HyImpulse is positioned to meet the increasing demand for affordable and reliable access to space.

HyImpulse generates revenue through direct contracts with clients for launching small satellites into low-Earth orbit. The transaction structure is predominantly B2B, where clients, such as telecommunications companies and research organizations, engage with HyImpulse for tailored launch services that meet their specific needs. Payment arrangements typically involve upfront fees along with milestone payments tied to the successful completion of various phases of the launch process. The company’s flagship offering, the small satellite launcher, is central to its revenue model, appealing to a growing market that seeks cost-effective solutions for satellite deployment.

The company plans to utilize August 2026 funding to support upcoming rocket launches, increase manufacturing capacity, and expand its launch services business.
