I’ve joined Y Combinator to build Exosat As the world becomes more multipolar, enterprises and governments are nervous about dependence on Starlink or Chinese state-owned satellites for critical network infrastructure Meanwhile, much of the world still has no reliable connectivity and other providers face years of delay and need... show more

Traveling around Asia to hang out with various telecom and space execs was fun. Time to lock in again.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Banger

@ycombinator @Exosat_ lfggggggggg

@ycombinator @Exosat_ I think that after. you really get into this, that ITAR/EAR is not the issue.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ let's fucking go

@ycombinator @Exosat_ strongspaceman

@ycombinator @Exosat_ WOWOWOW

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Letsgooo

@ycombinator @Exosat_ What makes them ITAR free? Is it just that you don't hire Americans or operate in the US?

@ycombinator @Exosat_ We don’t have a U.S-nexus, U.S-vendors, and are working entirely overseas. Hilariously enough, I think we’re also the only company in YC to not have a Delaware parent. But ITAR is particularly strict on this matter.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ It’s quite fun as I get a lot of visibility that people otherwise don’t get into both sides of the space race. Realistically our main competition is also Guowang/Qianfan over Starlink as our ICP is heavily Global South.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Interesting, do you consider European companies like Endurosat competitors?

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Them? Maybe, but less so. I don’t think Europe has truly ITAR-free satellites; Thales tried but turned out their American vendors were mislabeling parts, so outside of China itself I don’t think ITAR-free satellites are a thing.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Some of them have tried legally separating their US segments but I'm not sure how well that works... Either way cool concept, at the very least you may expose some absurd policies

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Yea, we made a conscious choice to give up any potential U.S. market presence (besides, Starlink has it well covered here! And Amazon Leo! And AST!). I don’t think our strategy would’ve worked without this sacrifice.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Congrats on the launch!

@ycombinator @Exosat_ let’s fucking go!

@ycombinator @Exosat_ congrats on the launch🫡 @frontrunvc early once again flagged at 4 followers.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ GOAT

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Awesome!

@ehreng @ycombinator @Exosat_ Congrats! Rooting for you

@ycombinator @Exosat_ This is great and super exciting

@ycombinator @Exosat_ You can't be stopped

@taro_f @ycombinator @Exosat_ Congrats, Ed!

@ycombinator @Exosat_

Interesting. I’d like to test these satellites and evaluate their performance. I manage a fleet of vessels where we remotely monitor engines, hydraulic systems, and numerous sensors through a vessel → satellite → cloud → remote operations setup. We’re currently waiting for a second option from Blue Origin, but we’d be interested in testing your solution as well.

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Boom! Congratulations!! Let's gooo!

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Tough 🔥

@ycombinator @Exosat_ why is a (supposedly) American fund backing this undermining of Our National Security

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Exciting stuff! Should be fun to follow along

@ycombinator @Exosat_ very cool!

@ycombinator @Exosat_ lfggggggg

@ycombinator @Exosat_ LFG!

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Congrats🫡

@ycombinator @Exosat_ Congrats!!!

@ycombinator @Exosat_ This is very cool! Wishing you luck with allocated cargo size and smooth deployments

@ycombinator @Exosat_ 🚀🚀

@ycombinator @Exosat_ LFG ED, april it is!

@ycombinator @Exosat_

@ycombinator @Exosat_ That is so sick!!!!!

@ycombinator @Exosat_ amazing 👽
