Founded in 2022 by Ian Cinnamon and Max Benassi, Apex Space builds high-rate, productized satellite buses to break the spacecraft-manufacturing bottleneck behind proliferated LEO constellations. Its product line spans Aries (payloads up to ~150 kg), the larger Nova (payloads up to ~300 kg), and Comet, a flat-stacking high-power bus delivering more than 5 kW of continuous payload power for large constellations. Apex serves commercial operators and U.S. government customers including the Space Force and SDA, with deliveries underway. In June 2026 the company raised more than $200 million at a $2.3 billion valuation, led by Glade Brook Capital Partners and Washington Harbour Partners — its third $200 million round in about 14 months, following a $200 million Series C led by Point72 and a $200 million Series D led by Interlagos in September 2025.
Apex addresses the satellite-bus bottleneck with software-defined, mass-produced platforms critical for proliferated LEO architectures and defense constellations.
