Space DOTS, a startup developing miniaturised in-situ testing for advanced materials in any space environment, has secured $1.5m in pre-seed funding. The round features investment from US-based deeptech investor Boost VC, female-led Sie Ventures, 7Percent Ventures, Blue Wire Capital and angel investors Elaine Lau and Alex Ionescu. The business will use the funding to commercialise its solution for the global space industry, reducing the time and expense associated with bringing materials for space technologies to market.
