The Netherlands
Karman+, founded in 2022, is defining its place at the forefront of the Robotics and Space industries with its ambitious venture into asteroid mining. Operating out of The Netherlands, the company carries the slogan, "We are mining asteroids to supply the space economy," which encapsulates its pioneering vision of harnessing space resources for abundant, sustainable energy both in space and on Earth.
Asteroid mining, often relegated to the realm of science fiction, is positioned by Karman+ as a critical and viable step toward achieving a new era of resource abundance—what they term the "Regolith Age." This innovative approach not only challenges traditional economic growth models but also offers a futuristic narrative in restructuring global energy systems.
The potential of Karman+ has been recognized through substantial financial backing, securing a $20.00M seed investment in February 2025 from notable investors such as HCVC, Hummingbird Ventures, Kevin Patrick Mahaffey, Teun van den Dries, and Plural. This funding milestone underscores investor confidence in their strategic vision and technological capabilities.
