Archangel Lightworks: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Future networks powered by space will be built using high-volume, secure wireless technology developed by Archangel Lightworks. The current state of terrestrial and space networks results in unstable, inadequate, and vulnerable infrastructure. There are around 3 billion unconnected people and many more who are only partially connected. Subsea cables, the foundation of the world's network infrastructure, are vulnerable to climate change and rogue actors. Radio, which is bandwidth-constrained, finite, and insecure, is used to connect satellites and the ground, which provide the possibility for robust connectivity. In order to address the issue of space-ground connectivity, Archangel Lightworks was founded.

About FundedIQ's Archangel Lightworks Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Archangel Lightworks is left off this page rather than filled in.
