About Sophia Space
Based in the US, Sophia Space Inc.Sophia Space Inc. was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in California, US. The company focuses on providing modular data processing units for the orbital environment. Sophia Space was founded by Leon Alkalai (CTO) and co-founded by Robert DeMillo (CEO) and Brian Monnin (CCO). In July 2026, Sophia Space Inc. Sophia Space is focused on revolutionizing in-orbit computing with its flagship product, the TILE, a purpose-built modular data processing unit designed specifically for the orbital environment. Each TILE measures 1m x 1m x 1cm and is solar-powered, equipped with its own dedicated solar panel to ensure continuous energy supply. The TILE can be configured with either Qualcomm SnapDragon 865 + Cloud 100 or NVIDIA Jetson + Blackwell, catering to high-performance AI workloads while addressing concerns regarding heat management and cooling solutions that are prevalent in terrestrial data centers. The company aims to tackle critical issues such as long data analysis times for Earth observation imagery, bandwidth limitations for emergency responders, and enhancing real-time processing capabilities in defense applications.Sophia Space generates revenue primarily through the sale and subscription of its TILE products, allowing clients to integrate these units into existing spacecraft or space stations without disrupting their energy and cooling plans. The transactional structure is based on B2B agreements where organizations subscribe to TILE services for ongoing access to in-orbit computing power tailored for demanding AI applications. Partnerships may also be established with satellite operators and governmental agencies for the deployment and management of TILEs in various missions. Specific pricing details for TILEs and subscription services are aligned with the needs of the clientele, focusing on delivering value through enhanced data processing capabilities and efficient thermal management solutions. Through these strategic pricing plans, Sophia Space aims to provide a cost-effective and scalable approach to meet the growing demands of space-native edge computing.
