Funding · signals
Space companies that have said they are seeking or planning a funding round, or that publications report are in talks with investors. Each line says who says so and when, and links to the source.
Announced or reported intentions, not completed rounds. These are raises companies have announced they are seeking or planning, or that publications report they are in talks about. They are not completed rounds: none of them is counted in any funding total, chart, ranking or Space Score. Not investment advice. Completed rounds are in the funding tracker.
A target filter only matches raises that state a figure; many do not.
17 raises in progress; showing 1 to 17.

Items come from company newsrooms, press releases and space-industry news. Every statement shown is quoted from its source, the target amount is read from the source's own words (with “about”, “up to” or “at least” kept), and a report that cites unnamed sources says so. An item closes when a matching round is recorded, and one with no new report for 12 months is marked “no close reported since”. Sponsored and partner content is never used.
The full list, with every source, is also a CSV export in the Research workspace.
