Reusable rocket startup Stoke raised another massive round: $260M


Y Combinator alum Stoke has an ambitious goal to build the first fully reusable rocket and VCs have opened their wallets wide.

The company was founded in 2019 by Blue Origin veterans Andy Lapsa and Tom Feldman, who launched his career as a SpaceX intern. The space startup has an ambitious goal to build the first fully reusable rocket, meaning both the booster and second stage. The cash will help it build its new facilities at Florida’s historic Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
