Participated · Series A · Nov 2025
Founded in 2020, Leanspace has built a modular software platform covering satellite monitoring & control, mission planning, ground-segment orchestration and hardware testing. The system is already flight-proven and used by more than 20 commercial operators, including Quantum Space, Look Up and Clearspace. In 2024 the company began targeting enterprise and institutional customers and has since signed seven contracts with organizations such as Airbus Defence & Space, Hispasat and the European Space Agency. Leanspace now serves six market segments spanning small satellites, constellations, in-orbit service vehicles, launchers & spaceports, large satellites and ground-station networks. The company positions its open, customizable platform as the backbone for secure, agile and cost-efficient “software-defined” satellite operations. With fresh backing from strategic aerospace and IT partners, Leanspace plans to expand in Europe and North America, offer turnkey mission-operations systems and build an ecosystem of satellite manufacturers, cloud providers and space-services firms around its technology.
