This 19-year-old’s space company just raised millions to keep satellites connected 24/7

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-08-08 02:12:21

Apolink, a Y Combinator-backed space-tech startup founded by a 19-year-old Indian-origin entrepreneur, has raised $4.3 million in an “oversubscribed” seed round at a $45 million post-money valuation to build a real-time connectivity network for satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The startup is tackling a persistent problem in space communications. Satellites frequently go offline during parts of their orbit due to dead zones — periods when they are not in the line of sight of a ground station

Bitcoin achieved a new all-time high of $118,900 on Friday after exceeding its previous record, $113,822, on Thursday. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin’s price stands at around $117,400. This is a significant milestone for Bitcoin, as it highlights its resurgence, now higher than its low of around $76,000 in early April. It dropped to nearly $49,000 last August.

Pa. House passes 'click-to-cancel' subscription bills

The state House has passed a pair of bills aimed at tamping down on dubious subscription services — just as a federal court moved to throw out similar rules proposed by federal regulators. Earlier this month, the House approved a bill cracking down on so-called “negative option” agreements in which consumers are automatically enrolled in a service unless they opt out. This week, the chamber also cleared a second bill requiring that subscriptions or memberships made online must also be able to b

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been 20 years to the day since Google made what you might consider its “best deal ever” by acquiring a small, unknown startup called Android, Inc. The founders, Andy Rubin and Chris White, had first set out to build an operating system for digital cameras, but when they failed to attract investors in 2004, they pivoted to creating a mobile operating system, and went pitching their new project looking for investor support.

Russia is a waning space power, but President Vladimir Putin has made sure he still has a saber to rattle in orbit. This has become more evident in recent weeks, when we saw a pair of rocket launches carrying top-secret military payloads, the release of a mysterious object from a Russian mothership in orbit, and a sequence of complex formation-flying maneuvers with a trio of satellites nearly 400 miles up.

Best Carpet Cleaners: I Used Real Life Messes as the Ultimate Test

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing.
