Founded in 2022, Northwood builds antennas and software for satellite-to-Earth links; it raised a $100M Series B in January 2026 (also a16z-led) alongside a roughly $50M U.S. Space Force contract to upgrade the country's satellite control network. The round also includes a financial agreement with HSBC to fund scaling, hiring and contract fulfilment. Why: This is a capital-markets story with no direct action for Malaysian developers, database learners, agent builders or SaaS founders — nothing here changes a tool, price, API or platform you use. The one transferable detail is the sequence: a ~$50M government contract landed in January alongside the Series B, and ten months later the Series C is 3.75x larger at a $2B mark. If you sell to public-sector buyers, that's a fundraising pattern worth noting; if you don't, skip this segment. fundraising spacetech government-contracts
