We’re excited to announce the completion of our direct investment in Armada, a next-generation platform strategically backed by SpaceX (Starlink) and Microsoft (Azure). Armada is redefining cloud and AI infrastructure for the world’s most demanding, remote, and operationally complex environments, serving industries such as energy, mining, logistics, and defence.
Armada’s full-stack platform combines Starlink satellite connectivity, high-performance edge computing, and AI-driven automation to deliver real-time data and operational intelligence where it’s needed most. The company has rapidly established a strong customer base, with deployments across leading organizations, including Saudi Aramco, Tampnet, the U.S. Navy, and U.S. Customs & Border Protection. Armada’s Commander Connect platform now manages thousands of Starlink terminals worldwide for over a hundred customers.
This investment was completed in partnership with 8090 Industries and a core group of strategic investors. We’re proud to support Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide and enable real-time AI at the edge.
Special thanks to Kerem Ozmen, Rayyan Islam, Wes Mendenhall, 8090 Industries, Armada, and our Prime Quadrant Partners for their continued support in making this investment possible.
