## About

Starfish Space Inc., based in Tukwila, US, develops autonomous satellite servicing solutions, specifically designed to enhance satellite maintenance efficiency in a rapidly evolving orbital landscape. Founded in 2019 by Austin Link and Trevor Bennett, Starfish Space Inc. specializes in satellite servicing technologies. The company is headquartered in Tukwila, Washington, and has participated in a total of 5 funding deals. 

In March 2026, Starfish Space Inc. raised USD 111.69 million in series B funding co-led by Point72 Asset Management, Shield Capital, and Activate Capital, with participation from Nomi Capital, Gaingels, Overlap Holdings, NightDragon, Industrious Ventures, Pioneer Square Labs, NFX, Munich Re Ventures, and Toyota Ventures.

Starfish Space's core product is the Otter, an autonomous satellite servicing vehicle that focuses on affordable and efficient satellite maintenance. The Otter utilizes electric propulsion, making it significantly smaller and more cost-effective compared to other solutions. Its main applications include satellite life extension and end-of-life disposal, addressing the needs of various satellite operators. Since its release in June 2023, the Otter Pup mission has provided operational insights that will inform future developments. Starfish Space aims to serve a global clientele, particularly targeting North America, Europe, and emerging markets in Asia. Starfish Space employs a transactional business model that facilitates direct engagement with clients in the satellite industry. Their revenue largely stems from service contracts related to satellite servicing missions, which include fixed pricing for specific tasks such as life extension and disposal. This model reflects the specific needs of each satellite operator and positions Starfish Space to expand its service offerings as it continues to develop its technology, ensuring revenue growth through these specialized engagements. Starfish Space plans to leverage the recent Series A funding of USD 111.69 million to further develop its Otter technology and expand its product offerings. In addition to enhancing the capabilities of the Otter, the company aims to penetrate new markets, focusing on regions in Asia and expanding further in Europe by 2025. The capital raised will support these initiatives, allowing Starfish Space to enhance its research and development efforts while establishing strategic partnerships in targeted geographic areas.
