Starcloud was previously known as Lumen Orbit before rebranding after Lumen Technologies asserted rights to the word "Lumen" for data centers. The company builds orbital data centers designed first to provide GPU compute to other satellites and, over time, to address the energy demands of AI workloads. In November 2025, Starcloud launched Starcloud-1 carrying an NVIDIA H100 GPU, and per TechCrunch, demonstrated AI training and inference running in orbit, a first for the industry.

Starcloud raised a $170 million Series A led by Benchmark and EQT Ventures, which valued the company at $1.1 billion, per TechCrunch. Total funding reached $200 million as of March 30, 2026, according to TechCrunch. Additional backers include Andreessen Horowitz, In-Q-Tel, NFX, Y Combinator, FUSE, and Soma Capital. Starcloud is also a member of NVIDIA Inception.

Starcloud has announced plans for its next satellite, Starcloud-2, which is set to carry a Bitcoin-mining computer alongside multiple GPUs, an NVIDIA Blackwell chip, and an AWS server blade. Crusoe has agreed to deploy Crusoe Cloud on a Starcloud satellite scheduled for late 2026, with limited orbital GPU capacity planned for early 2027. Starcloud has published 2,001 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 64 accounts a total of 155 times.
