  • Ramon.Space — a leader in space computing solutions — announced it has raised $17.5 million in Series A funding. These are the details.

Ramon.Space — a leader in space computing solutions — announced it has raised $17.5 million in Series A funding. This round of funding includes StageOne Ventures, Deep Insight, WorldQuant Ventures, UMC Capital and existing investor Grove Ventures. And the funding will be used to continue development of the company’s computing solutions, support its rapidly expanding US and Israel operations, and expand the team globally.

Ramon.Space is building space resilient super-computing systems that revolutionize the way software is written, applied, and processed in space. The use of software in space has been limited since the hardware needed to support it could not function in such harsh conditions.
