Phase Four: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Phase Four, established in 2015, specializes in electric propulsion for small satellites, with a focus on their innovative Radio Frequency Thruster (RFT). The RFT stands out for its simplicity as it eliminates the need for certain components, resulting in cost savings, smaller power electronics, and the ability to use different types of propellant. Despite these advancements, Phase Four's RFT maintains the same performance standards as traditional plasma propulsion systems.

About FundedIQ's Phase Four 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 Phase Four is left off this page rather than filled in.
