   Satlyt raises $8M seed to run AI models on satellites

   Satlyt, co-founded by former Google and SpaceX product manager Rama Afullo, has raised an $8 million seed round led by Houston-based Non Sibi Ventures. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and Nairobi, the company builds software for running AI models on satellites rather than its own spacecraft, aiming to be a horizontally integrated layer across many operators' hardware. It previously deployed Google DeepMind's Gemma model on a Momentus-operated spacecraft, which the company says cut the size of a transmission about onboard software errors by more than 60%. This week its software launches on a SpaceX rocket aboard a satellite built by Indian startup TakeMe2Space, serving NASA and space-surveillance startup Stellerian, and Satlyt plans next year to attempt a shared compute system spanning two satellites.
