Luxembourg, 21 April 2026 — Spacebackend, a Luxembourg-headquartered deep-tech

startup focused on modernising engineering processes in the aerospace industry, today

announces the closing of a €1.8 million pre-seed funding round, bringing its total capital

raised to over €2.2 million. The round included participation from Bynd Venture Capital,

Athos Capital and Draper B1, complemented by strategic non-dilutive funding from the

Government of Luxembourg through an ESA Contract in the Luxembourg National Space

Programme, LuxIMPULSE, managed by the Luxembourg Space Agency, as well as a

strategic angel investor.

Founded in 2024, Spacebackend is headquartered in Luxembourg with a subsidiary in

Spain, and concentrates all of its research and development activity in the Grand Duchy.

The company has also recently completed Phase 2 of ESRIC's Startup Support Programme,

further consolidating its position within Luxembourg's deep-tech and space resources

ecosystem.

"Our ambition is to make Spacebackend a platform that enables the development of the

next generation of aerospace systems. With the growing demand to launch more hardware

and infrastructure into space, our mission is to reduce integration efforts from years to

days. By enabling aerospace teams to streamline the entire hardware integration, testing

and validation process into a single platform, we ensure faster and manufacturer-agnostic

integration timelines for any project and mission," says Dmitry Goldenberg, Founder and

CEO of Spacebackend.

Spacebackend's engineering platform, Lynapse, addresses the structural challenge of

integrating hardware and software in mission-critical systems, where the fragmentation,

manual nature and slowness of these processes continue to hinder the scalability and

reliability of space missions. Lynapse applies AI where it adds the most value, reading and

interpreting Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and datasheets to automatically surface

ambiguities and missing information that engineering teams would otherwise spend weeks

resolving by hand. From the engineer-approved interface model, the platform then

produces deterministic, flight-ready, platform-agnostic source code, together with

simulation environments to test and validate both generated and existing software, long

before physical hardware is available.

Beyond its current product, Spacebackend's long-term vision extends from accelerating

integration to enabling autonomous interoperability across multi-vendor aerospace

assets (from satellites and spacecraft to landers, rovers and in-situ resource utilisation

assets) a direction aligned with Luxembourg's national space strategy.

"Solving hardware-software integration is the first step on a much longer road. Our vision is

an ecosystem in which any mission-critical system (in orbit, on the lunar surface, or on

Earth) can identify, connect, and service other systems without bespoke engineering each

time. That ambition is deeply aligned with the Luxembourg Space Agency's strategy around

activities in space, like in-orbit services, and the sustainable use of space resources. We

see Spacebackend as a long-term actor in this ecosystem, and we envision Lynapse and

the products that will follow it becoming part of the core infrastructure of the European

space industry," says Yoav Landsman, Co-founder and COO of Spacebackend.

"This technology is addressing a structural problem in the aerospace industry by reducing

complexity and dramatically increasing the efficiency of equipment integration processes

in satellites. We believe Spacebackend has the potential to become an essential tool for

the next generation of mission-critical systems, and it is exactly the kind of investment that

Bynd wants to continue supporting," says Francisco Ferreira Pinto, Partner at Bynd

Venture Capital.

“We decided to invest in Spacebackend because its AI based technology, able to generate

agnostic middleware and digital twins from technical documentation, has the potential to

convert itself in a standard within a market that will grow exponentially in the next years”,

says Jon Etxeberría, Principal de Draper B1.

In a context of fast growth in the space economy and increasing mission complexity, the

funding will allow the company to strengthen its team in Luxembourg, accelerate market

entry with European integrators and primes, and continue evolving Lynapse ; With deeper

ICD intelligence, broader hardware protocol coverage, and expanded simulation and

validation capabilities for highly regulated and mission-critical environments.

"This round is a foundation for our further commercialization. We are committed to

deepening our collaboration with the Luxembourg Space Agency and to building strong

partnerships with commercial players in Luxembourg and across the European Union.

Together, we can make European space infrastructure faster, more modular, and more

resilient," adds Dmitry Goldenberg.

About Spacebackend

Spacebackend is a Luxembourg-headquartered deep-tech startup dedicated to

transforming the way aerospace systems are integrated, tested and validated. Its

engineering platform, Lynapse, uses AI to interpret complex interface documentation and

surface ambiguities early, and generates deterministic, flight-ready source code together

with simulation-based validation environments, drastically reducing the time and

complexity of hardware integration and ensuring greater reliability, efficiency and speed of

execution. Spacebackend concentrates its R&D activity in Luxembourg and operates a

subsidiary in Spain. The company is supported by the Government of Luxembourg through

an ESA Contract in the Luxembourg National Space Programme, LuxIMPULSE, managed by

the Luxembourg Space Agency and has completed Phase 2 of ESRIC's Startup Support

Programme.
