Array Labs Raises $20M Series A

Array Labs, the YC-backed startup building space-based radar systems, has raised $20M in Series A funding led by Catapult Ventures, with participation from Washington Harbour Partners, Kompas VC, and existing investors including Y Combinator, Maiora Capital, Animal Capital, Aera VC, Cultivation Capital, and Clearance Ventures.
The company previously raised a $5M seed in 2022 after completing YC, followed by a $10M round in 2024.

Array Labs designs, builds, and operates advanced radar satellites, creating modular radar systems designed for mass production that deliver greater capability at a fraction of traditional costs.

The company's architecture departs from traditional single-satellite SAR systems, instead launching clusters of small satellites that fly in coordinated formations and image the same area from multiple angles to generate three-dimensional terrain and object models.

In 2025, Array Labs doubled the size of its team, completed the design of its satellite bus, formed two new product lines, and grew commercial bookings to nine digits in contracted revenue.

The company has also been selected for roughly half a dozen government awards over the last 24 months, across the U.S. armed services, intelligence community, and key combatant commands.

Array launched two demonstration satellites in 2024 to validate its distributed radar concept and plans a second demonstration mission in 2026.

With this financing, Array will scale its engineering, product, and go-to-market teams, expand production capacity, complete flight qualification, and launch the world's first formation-flying radar satellite cluster.

The startup is positioning itself as both a data supplier and a hardware provider, operating three business lines: radar payloads sold to satellite manufacturers and defense primes, sovereign satellite systems for customers that want to own and operate their own spacecraft, and data products derived from Array's own constellation.
