+# Starfish Space
+
+Starfish Space is an orbital satellite servicing startup developing the Otter spacecraft for docking with satellites to provide inspection, station-keeping, life extension, and eventual deorbit/disposal services. The company targets the growing market for extending operational life of geostationary and medium-Earth orbit satellites rather than replacing them.
+
+## Timeline
+
+- **2026-04-08** — Raised over $100 million in funding round, representing Series B/C-scale institutional capital commitment to orbital servicing market
+
+## Strategic Position
+
+Starfish is positioned in the emerging orbital servicing layer, which decouples satellite operations from initial launch economics. The $100M+ funding round is significantly larger than typical first-demonstration-mission rounds in this sector ($20-50M), suggesting strong commercial or defense customer interest.
