aVenture Investment Company ("aVenture") is an independent research platform providing detailed analysis and data on startups, venture capital investments, and key industry individuals. It is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or investment advisor and does not provide investment advice or recommendations. The data provided by aVenture does not constitute recommendations or advice, whether by methodology, analysis, AI-generated content, or a statement written by a staff member of aVenture.

aVenture is not affiliated with any of the people, companies, organizations, government agencies, regulatory bodies, or investment funds we provide coverage for on this site unless explicitly stated otherwise. Users assume full responsibility for decisions made based on information obtained from this platform. Links to external websites do not imply endorsement or affiliation with aVenture. Any links that provide the ability to invest in a primary or secondary transaction in a company are for convenience only and do not constitute solicitations or offers to buy or sell an investment. Investors should exercise heightened precaution and due diligence when investing in private companies, especially those not independently audited.

While we strive to provide valuable insights with objectivity and professional diligence, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided on our platform. Before making any investment decisions, you should verify the accuracy of all pertinent details for your decision.

Profiles on this platform may include content generated in part by large language models (LLMs, artificial intelligence) that aggregate publicly available sources (e.g., SEC EDGAR, public filings, press releases).

Content on our site may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or what are commonly called 'hallucinations' if generated in part or in full by AI / LLMs. The risk can also exist even when content is written by a human, as internal and third-party sources may also have inaccuracies for the same or different reasons.

  1. SpaceX’s rideshare launch kicks off milestone mission for Starfish Space’s first Otter space vehiclegeekwire.com/2026/spacex-rideshare-starfish-space-first-otter/

    Starfish Space sends its first full-scale Otter satellite-servicing vehicle into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying 130 payloads on the Transporter-18 rideshare mission. After commissioning, Otter will rendezvous with and inspect inoperable satellites under NASA’s $15 million SSPICY mission, demonstrating capabilities that could also support active-satellite checks or defunct-satellite disposal. The Tukwila startup is preparing additional Otter missions for the Space Development Agency, commercial operators, and the U.S. Space Force.

  2. Space Lasers Are About to Get Their First Real Test Generating Energywired.com/story/space-lasers-are-about-to-get-their-first-real-test-generating-energy/

    Star Catcher is preparing to launch a prototype that beams solar energy by laser to another satellite in orbit. Its power nodes gather sunlight through lenses, refine it into wavelengths the company says can provide up to 10 times more power than diffuse sunlight, and direct beams to satellites’ solar panels. The startup has raised $65 million, received a $30 million US Space Force award, and signed 10 power purchase agreements.

  3. Star Catcher's Orbital Power-Beaming Demo is Ready for Launchpayloadspace.com/star-catchers-orbital-power-beaming-demo-is-ready-for-launch/

    Star Catcher readies Protostar, its prototype power node, for SpaceX’s Transporter-18 launch, where it will attempt the first power transfer between two untethered spacecraft. The mission deploys and tracks a cubesat, beaming measurable power to its off-the-shelf solar panels. Star Catcher says its technology can give customer satellites two to ten times more power without hardware retrofits; the company also reports a $60 million Space Force STRATFI award and 10 publicly announced power-purchase agreements.

  4. Star Catcher Closes $65M Series Apayloadspace.com/star-catcher-closes-65m-series-a/

    Star Catcher secures a $65 million Series A to fund its first optical power-beaming demonstration in orbit, planned for this year. The company aims to collect solar power in space and beam concentrated energy to other spacecraft using their existing solar-cell hardware, enabling more power-intensive missions and potentially helping satellites when equipment fails. B Capital leads the round, co-led by Shield Capital and Cerberus Ventures; it brings Star Catcher’s total capital raised to $88 million, with representatives from all three firms set to join its board. The company conducted a terrestrial demonstration in March 2025 and is developing a second space mission.
