## NeuralSat funding
German startup NeuralSat GmbH raised €2.9 million pre-seed funding to develop a 72-satellite data-relay network.
## Investors
Capnamic and Bayern Kapital co-led the round with ZOHO.VC, Robin Capital, BAB, Die Förderbank für Bremen und Bremerhaven, Mission E and KIEMIS Holding.
## Satellite network
The network will deliver up to 50 gigabits per second via optical and high-frequency radio links.
## Applications
The network supports real-time edge processing, hosted workloads for commercial and defense clients, and time-critical missions like Earth observation.
## CEO statement
Chief Executive Mohd Bilal said the next major evolution in space will come from connecting satellites to shared infrastructure.
## Launch timeline
NeuralSat plans to launch its first in-orbit demonstration node in October 2027 followed by commercial operational satellites.
## Space compute benefits
Satellite-to-satellite links are 30% to 50% faster than sending data down to Earth for processing.
## Key takeaway

NeuralSat raised €2.9 million to develop a 72-satellite data-relay network for high-speed space computing and communications.
