Kymeta Corp., the Redmond-based satellite antenna venture backed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, says it has closed a $62 million Series D financing round to support a host of new initiatives by land, air and sea.
“With new partnerships, rollout of its smart antenna, customer milestones ahead and growing industry buzz, Kymeta is inventing and delivering a future I can’t wait to live in,” Josh Wolfe, a board member and investor at Lux Capital, said in Monday’s press release announcing the capital influx.
In addition to Lux and Gates, the latest round’s funders include the Kresge Foundation and Osage University Partners, which have invested in Kymeta previously. There are also investments from “as of yet undisclosed strategic partners,” Kymeta said.
