Starcloud Adds $250M to Series A at $2.3B Valuation as Nvidia Joins Orbital Data Center Round

Redmond-based Starcloud announced a $250M Series A extension at a $2.3B post-money valuation, more than doubling its March mark and bringing total funding to $420M. Manhattan West led; Nvidia put in $25M alongside Cisco Investments and existing backers Benchmark, EQT, NFX and 776. Proceeds go to a 100,000 sq-ft Woodinville factory and to Starcloud-3, planned to fly on SpaceX's Starship; the company has FCC requests for 88,000 spacecraft operations and is designing a space-ready 'Vera Rubin Space-1' GPU targeting late 2028.
