TAMPA, Fla. — Seraphim Space announced May 15 the startups joining its 13th accelerator program, a three-week course designed to provide the networking and mentoring support they need to be investment-ready.
The nine early-stage companies from the United Kingdom, United States, Italy and India are developing businesses across propulsion, cybersecurity, space situational awareness, geospatial insights and in-orbit biotechnology manufacturing.

U.K.-based Seraphim, which runs the bi-annual accelerator with its U.S. arm Generation Space, said around 95 ventures have collectively raised more than $345 million in investment after participating in one of its previous 12 programs.
Californian startup Xona Space Systems, which is developing a satellite-based navigation service and joined Seraphim’s third accelerator program in 2019, announced earlier this month it has raised $19 million in a Series A funding round.
Roughly 85% of companies get an investment within 12 months of completing the accelerator and 93% of them have secured funding to date, according to Seraphim, raising $4 million on average.
Seraphim said some of the nine companies in its latest accelerator will also be able to apply for a $100 million fund the early-stage investor announced last month after completing the program.
