I am excited to announce Giant Step Capital ‘s participation in Varda Space Industries $90m Series B, with total capital raised at $145m. This allows Varda to transition from demos, to serving various publicly traded pharma and government customers. A new era of space utility has begun.

We're excited to announce our $12M seed round led by Initialized Capital! TechCrunch article: https://lnkd.in/gQQeWkf3 Press release: https://lnkd.in/g2XiqqnW In addition, Starburst Ventures, Credo Ventures, Giant Step Capital, Domino Ventures, and Alumni Ventures participated in the round.

🚨 INVESTMENT ANNOUCEMENT: Giant Step Capital is thrilled to announce our participation in the $12M Seed for Picogrid led by Initialized Capital alongside Starburst Ventures, DOMiNO Ventures, Credo Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. Founded by CEO Zane Mountcastle - Picogrid is building the unified platform to connect defense and autonomous systems. Erik Bruckner and I first met Zane and the team a few months ago at his HQ in El Segundo - we were instantly impressed at the progress and velocity at which this company was operating to solve such a critical problem for US ISR (intelligence surveillance reconnaissance) infrastructure. One of the first startups to get part of a major defense grant (950m)- Picogrid is positioned to bring massive disruption toward the ISR space and beyond. We believe Picogrid is thinking differently about the problem, and innovating without boundaries. Something we are always in search of at Giant Step Capital and are excited to build this future with Zane.
