Exactly 10 years ago (Jan 2016), I stepped in as CEO. We had just closed out Q4 with a total of $600k in revenue (screenshot from board deck).

Fast forward a decade.
Q4 audited GAAP Revenue: $1,290M and over $5.4B revenue run-rate ending January.

I’ve never tweeted our exact quarterly financials before, but seeing that $1.29B number cross my desk on my 10-year anniversary hit differently. To the team that built this: thank you. If you're following the data space, you know exactly what this milestone means. 🏗️

It's not often the co-founders and I author blog posts together, but we thought this one is important so we took time to write this together with the Neon team. In this blog we outline why we think a new type of database will slowly take over and replace all existing databases, we call it the Lakebase. We cover the WHY and the WHAT here:

Very excited to announce that Astranis is building a new satellite for Oman.

We've signed a 9-figure contract with MB Group —the largest oil and gas conglomerate in Oman— to bring Oman its first dedicated communications satellite.

This partnership was announced today in Oman with the leadership of MB Group and senior government officials from the Oman Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology.

The deal is part of an overall $200 million investment by MB Group in sovereign connectivity, advancing the Vision 2040 program by the Oman government. This satellite will go up on our Block 3 launch later this year, going from contract to operations in months, not years.

Sovereign connectivity is no longer optional. Countries need private, secure networks to know their data is secure and in the right hands.

Astranis builds dedicated satellites that make this possible, giving our customer full control over payload configuration, coverage, and network operations.

We are the only company that gives our customers a standalone, dedicated network that spans their geography of choice and delivers enterprise-grade security, customizability, and operational visibility of the network and data traffic.

This type of infrastructure is impossible to replicate with shared networks or terrestrial links alone. And that's why countries like Oman and Taiwan are choosing Astranis.

We built Astranis on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to growth. It's an honor to partner with MB Group and Oman, and we look forward to supporting the people of Oman and their digital future for many years to come.

I'm incredibly proud that Flock Safety played a key role in working with first responders to find the suspect in the Brown and MIT murders.

America cannot tolerate tragedies like what we saw at Brown and MIT this past week. The single best way to curb crime is to make sure would-be criminals know they'll be caught. Excellent intelligence is the only way to make that a reality, and we intend to continue using technology to make sure our law enforcement are empowered to do their jobs.

[Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth) @antoniogm]

It’s very simple: European elites reject A/C because it’s coded as American and low-class.

Also Europe’s climate is way more temperate than North America, you don’t need it most of the year save for maybe a month in summer

Never mind that it’s mostly fake: there are plenty of A/C units in Europe (I’m literally sitting in a Paris hotel with A/C). You can easily buy them.

Go to the Third World and those damn split units are everywhere. Has nothing to do with cost. It’s all perception of A/C as a fat, lazy thing that Europeans should be above (plus climate eschatology).

The best products aren’t just tools, they change how work gets done. @harvey__ai + GPT-5 isn’t automating lawyers. It’s reimagining what a law firm is.

[Harvey @harvey]

GPT-5 is now available within Harvey.

The model's reasoning, drafting, and tool use capabilities enable Harvey to orchestrate entire legal projects end-to-end.

With it, Harvey is evolving into a true AI coworker.

Astranis is now a prime contractor for a @SpaceForceDoD Program of Record.

We've been selected for Phase I of Protected Tactical Satcom-Global, an up to $4 billion program to launch small geo comms satellites on an aggressively fast timeline. That is what we do best.

Game on.

Super excited about this one! Let’s go @pathak2206 @gupta_abhinav_ !!!

Thrilled to see @Astranis partner with Taiwan’s largest telco, Chunghwa Telecom, to help bring Taiwan its first-ever dedicated communications satellite and bolster the island's communication infrastructure. A major milestone for @Gedmark and the team!

[Ashvin Bachireddy @ashvinb]

Let's go!!!

[John Gedmark @Gedmark]

Astranis is building a new satellite for Taiwan. 🇹🇼

With our customer, Chunghwa Telecom, we will bring Taiwan its first-ever dedicated communications satellite. Chunghwa Telecom is the largest telco in Taiwan, with a market cap of more than $30 billion USD.

Independent, secure internet infrastructure has never been more geopolitically important — and because it’s impossible to replicate with LEO constellations or even terrestrial links, it merits some spelling out.

Astranis was founded on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to peace, prosperity, and self-determination.

The satellite we’re bringing to Taiwan represents resilience. It will serve as a critical backbone for cellular connectivity, maritime communications, and essential government services across Taiwan. And it will ensure that Chunghwa Telecom’s network remains operational in times of crisis, whether in the face of natural disasters or other disruptions to terrestrial infrastructure.

Importantly, Astranis provides more than just a satellite — we give our customers a standalone, dedicated network. A network that can be rapidly deployed and fully spans their geography of choice. With enterprise-grade security, customizability, and deep insights into the configuration and operation of the network.

And as an independent piece of infrastructure, it safeguards against geopolitical risks, and is beyond the reach of hostile neighbors.

Those are the benefits of having your own, dedicated satellite and network. And that’s why so many customers are choosing Astranis.

We at Astranis are honored to be part of this moment, and to have a product that has proven so uniquely needed in today’s world.

We look forward to continuing to support Taiwan and its people for many years to come.
