Kapta Space Secures $24M Series A Funding and Classified MTI Contracts
Seattle-based Kapta Space has raised $24 million in a Series A funding round led by Washington Harbour Partners, with co-lead from Bison Ventures. The investment brings the company's total funding to $30 million. The capital will be used to scale production of its next-generation radar payloads for spaceborne intelligence missions. Kapta’s technology is based on its proprietary Metamaterial Electronically Scanned Array (MESA™) architecture, which aims to deliver advanced radar performance at a lower cost and complexity than traditional AESA systems. The company has secured multiple classified moving target indication (MTI) contracts earlier this year, signaling strong demand for scalable space-based surveillance solutions. The funding is expected to accelerate Kapta’s efforts in qualifying its payloads for flight and expanding manufacturing capacity ahead of orbital demonstrations.
