Summary
Exosat builds thousands of low-cost communication satellites as a neutral, sovereign alternative to Starlink for nations and enterprises wary of foreign-owned infrastructure. Founder Edward is a repeat founder who previously co-founded Aethero, building satellite edge computers and scaling to millions in revenue from customers like Blue Origin. They eliminate ITAR/EAR-controlled components and fly in lower orbits to produce satellites at ~$300k instead of $5M. They've booked their first launch for next April, signed $400M in LOIs across six nations, and filed with the ITU for an 11,000 satellite constellation.
