Co-Founder and Head of Software @ Northwood Space || trying to make the world a better place
It's crazy to think that it's been 1 yr minus 1 day as a co-founder here at @NorthwoodSpace. In that year we've raised from amazing investors, built a team I'm lucky to work with every day, and on top of that built a phased array antenna faster than some parabolics can get fixed
We @a16z are thrilled to be deepening the partnership with @bridgitmendler and the @NorthwoodSpace team by co-leading their Series A! Honored to continue supporting Bridgit, Griffin, and Shaur as they build the next generation of ground infrastructure for the space economy.

To industrialize space, we must also industrialize the ground. If you want to shape the future of the space economy from the ground up, Northwood is hiring 🚀

A few days late on this, but congrats to the 5 @CapitalAlso companies on @SVDG_official ’s NatSec100! I’m not a designer, but we made the fun graphic below to celebrate. Congrats @anysignalinc @K2SpaceCo @NorthwoodSpace @RadiantNuclear and @VardaSpace! No pressure, but I…
We have successfully demonstrated that our Portal system can deliver 1kW of transmit power and sub-picowatt receive, supporting LEO, MEO and GEO. With arrayed configurations of this module, Northwood has built the highest power commercial communications phased array.…
In this house, we love phased array antennas.

We're continuing to burn down technical risk as we bring the K2 platform online. - First successful in-space demo in the books - Hit max power (20kW) with on-the-ground tests of the hall thruster The full platform is now coming together on the factory floor, tracking…
We've completed our first in-space demo of key components and first ground hotfire of our in-house 20kW Hall-effect thruster. These milestone achievements significantly de-risk our 2026 Gravitas mission to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). payloadspace.com/k2-hotfire-pav…
My X post feed is rapidly turning into a wall of hall thruster pictures and I don’t care one bit. 20kW and hardware in space is a pretty awesome feeling.

Grateful to be an American this 4th of July. This country gave me a chance to dream bigger and I’m lucky to work on giving back to it every day. Happy 4th y’all. May freedom forever ring 🇺🇸
Happy birthday America. Land of the free, home of the brave... and home of the BUILDER.
Something peaceful about working on a warehouse floor while it rains outside and your beam-forming system gently moves 1.5 Tbps of data
We’re excited to announce Sunflower Capital Funds I and II. Sunflower is a $250m fund that partners at the earliest stage with companies building foundations for modern enterprises, critical industries, and the physical world.
We’ve been lucky to see a flood of inbound from talented software engineers this last week. If you’re one of the rare few who wants to build systems over widgets, move fast, and shape the future of the world, we should talk
We are investing in @NorthwoodSpace. To maximally industrialize satellites in space, we must revamp infrastructure on the ground. And that’s what Northwood Space is doing. It’s building one of the most overlooked yet essential components of the space data pipeline: a…
Congrats to Bridgit and the Northwood team on their $30m Series A Can't wait for their ground station network to come online so that we can easily communicate with our Varda vehicles 24/7... Rather than 20 mins at a time during ground passes every few hours...
Time to build
