Cowboy Space Corp.

Cowboy Space Corp. is a space-infrastructure company founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt, co-founder of Robinhood. The company builds vertically integrated systems intended to generate and distribute power and data in Low Earth Orbit, supporting on-orbit AI compute and energy transmission between space assets and to Earth. It states that its team is drawn from top aerospace and defence organisations and that it is backed by leading investors.

Its work centres on satellites that collect sunlight in Low Earth Orbit, along with the transmission of energy by infrared laser, both space-to-earth and space-to-space. Complementing these are power supply for on-orbit compute and AI workloads, and secure, high-bandwidth optical data links. The stated objective is a combined power-and-data layer in orbit; the company frames the problem in terms of terrestrial energy and compute capacity being outpaced by demand from artificial intelligence.

Operations are space-based, in Low Earth Orbit. The company sits across several sectors at once: space infrastructure, energy, satellite communications, aerospace and defence, and AI compute. Funding amounts and stage have not been disclosed.
