NeuralSat raises €2.9M to build a data relay and compute network in orbit

Nov 13, 2026
The German startup plans 72 satellites linked at up to 50 Gbps, with a first demonstration node in October 2027.

German space startup NeuralSat has raised €2.9 million in pre-seed funding co-led by Capnamic and Bayern Kapital to build a 72-satellite network that relays data and runs computing in orbit, SiliconANGLE reports.

Satellite operators would offload communications and processing to the network, which NeuralSat says will deliver up to 50 gigabits per second over optical and radio links. It targets real-time edge processing and hosted workloads for commercial and defence customers, such as Earth observation and signals intelligence. Founded in early 2026, NeuralSat plans its first in-orbit demonstration node for October 2027. ZOHO.VC and Robin Capital also invested.
