Endeavor Optical Networks is developing a space-based optical communications network that links ground stations with tens of relay satellites to move multiple terabits per second across continents. The company presents its solution as an alternative to traditional subsea cables, aiming to reduce risks from cable cuts and geopolitical instability. It is emerging from stealth concurrent with a $10.75M seed raise. Founders Tyler Presser and Charlie Horowitz lead the company and have begun expanding the team with hires including Michael David Francois as Head of Growth and Wesley Baxter as Head of Laser Communications.
