Satlyt raises $8M seed to run AI on satellites; software flying on SpaceX launch
Satlyt, co-founded by former Google and SpaceX product manager Rama Afullo, raised an $8 million seed round led by Non Sibi Ventures to build software that runs AI models on satellites and enables shared in‑orbit computing. The company’s software is scheduled to fly on a SpaceX launch alongside Google’s Project Suncatcher prototype; Satlyt has already demoed its stack twice, including deploying DeepMind’s Gemma on a Momentus spacecraft (cutting an onboard error-report transmission by more than 60%).
