Ed is a killer!
He walked away from an 8-figure acquisition at his last company rather than block liquidity for his team, then used his own savings to fund Exosat’s first launch contract.
Now he’s building sovereign satellite infrastructure.
Huge vision. Real sacrifice. Real skin in the game.
Excited to back Ed and Exosat.
I’ve joined @ycombinator 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 millions of dollars just to build a single satellite
Exosat is filling that need by designing satellites with zero ITAR/EAR-controlled content, enabling us to leverage manufacturers anywhere in the world to produce our satellites at under a tenth of the cost and launch them from other nations to bypass capacity bottlenecks and access equatorial orbits
We launch our first in-house satellite next April, have hundreds of millions of dollars in Letters of Intent with early partners across six nations, and have a ITU spectrum filing for 11,000 satellites to build the largest space-based cellular network outside of the United States and China

YC founder:
“You’re one of the nicer investors I’ve talked to.”
I wasn’t sure if that was a good or bad thing.
Then he said:
“You came with good questions, I can tell you prepared, and you really do care about the meetings you take.”
You can prepare deeply, ask hard questions, move quickly, say no, and still treat founders well.
Founder-friendly and disciplined aren’t opposites.
