About Starcloud
Starcloud is building data centers in space to address the AI energy challenge. Starcloud recently launched the first Nvidia H100 chip to space. Falling launch costs enable Starcloud to capitalize on the abundant energy and ability to rapidly scale in space. Starcloud was founded in January 2024 and raised a $170M Series A in early 2026, becoming the fastest unicorn in YC history. In August 2026, they announced a $250M raise at a $2.3bn valuation with investment from Benchmark, NVIDIA, and Cisco. Their backers include Y Combinator (S24), Benchmark, EQT, NFX, In-Q-Tel, NVIDIA, and the World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers.
