Our take

There’s a lot of funding going into satellite startups at the moment, given how useful the technology can be across a wide spectrum of fields, from agriculture to natural disaster management and insurance. Albedo is one of a number of companies looking to break into the market, but it’s facing plenty of competition from the likes of Atlas Operations and Outpost.

However, Albedo is aiming to raise industry standards by developing satellites that can fly twice as close to Earth as that of its competition, and capture imagery at a resolution that’s almost ten times higher than what’s currently available. Indeed, Albedo became the very first company to receive a license to sell this quality of imagery in 2021.

Though only founded in 2020, it has experienced remarkable growth, doubling its headcount in 2023 and expanding its operations with a state-of-the-art facility in Broomfield, Colorado. As Albedo continues to secure investments, it is strategically channeling its resources into bolstering its team and further enhancing its satellite constellation. With this rapid expansion and commitment to innovation, Albedo has every reason to be excited about the promising future that lies ahead.
