NeuralSat raises €2.9 million pre-seed for orbital data infrastructure
Capnamic Ventures led the German startup’s round to advance a 2027 demonstration of satellite data relay and computing technology.
NeuralSat has raised €2.9 million in pre-seed financing to develop a network for transmitting and processing satellite data in orbit. Capnamic Ventures led the round, announced by investor Bayern Kapital on 12 November.
Bayern Kapital invested through its Innovationsfonds EFRE II. ZOHO.VC, Robin Capital, KIEMIS Holding and Mission E Capital also participated.
The Würzburg company is developing infrastructure that combines optical and high-frequency communications with distributed computing. Satellite operators would be able to relay information through the network and process or prioritise data before sending it to Earth.
The funding will support NeuralSat’s first in-orbit demonstration, planned for 2027, and preparations for its own satellite constellation. Initial constellation launches are targeted from 2028. The technology is intended for applications such as Earth observation and time-sensitive communications.
