Starcloud
Data centers in space powering the future of AI

Starcloud is developing orbital data centers that leverage continuous solar energy and radiative cooling in space to dramatically reduce electricity costs and scale compute capacity. The company targets hyperscale AI training workloads, positioning space-based infrastructure as a solution to terrestrial permitting, energy, and scalability constraints. Starcloud is currently in early-stage development, backed by a team of deep-tech engineers with backgrounds at SpaceX, Airbus, and Microsoft.
Starcloud deploys data centers in orbit to harness continuous solar power and radiative cooling, enabling gigawatt-scale compute clusters without terrestrial land or energy limitations.
