AnySignal – a leading technology company building a radiofrequency (RF) connectivity and sensing platform for industrial, aerospace, and defense markets – recently announced it closed an oversubscribed $5 million seed round. This funding round will be used to execute a considerable backlog of commercial and government contracts.
Launched in 2022, AnySignal offers customers the data they need from the most remote and high-risk environments with integrated radio communications products. And this data is used to enhance real-time decision-making in climate response strategies, improve national security through enhanced situational awareness, and maximize financial opportunity in the growing space economy. AnySignal’s radio platform, Iris, enables customers to focus on the core of their mission while having sophisticated communications performance, quickly positioning AnySignal as the de-facto end-to-end connectivity platform for forward-thinking customers.
AnySignal’s team comprises experts in hardware design, cloud computing, embedded systems, algorithms, commercial product development, and government relations. And the founding team includes former employees of SpaceX, Kepler Communications, and GitHub, along with foremost experts in RF platform design.
The oversubscribed seed round of funding attracted venture capital firms Blueyard Capital, First In, Also Capital, Acequia Capital, and Caffeinated Capital. The funding round also included several strategic angel investors who recognize the enormous potential of AnySignal’s technology in shaping the future of how we utilize and understand the RF domain.
The company was led by CEO John Malsbury, formerly of SpaceX, where he managed signal processing development across Dragon 2, Starship, Starlink, Starshield, and Falcon 9. And the co-founding team also includes Jeffrey Osborne (former co-founder Kepler Communications) and Ricardo Medina (formerly at DigitalOcean and GitHub).
