🛰️LA Is Emerging as a Space Powerhouse—And Investors Are Lining Up

🔦 Spotlight

Hello, Happy Friday!

This week, Los Angeles proved once again why it's at the center of space, tech, and innovation. From a major satellite funding round to a big push for wildfire relief, the city is making moves across multiple industries.

K2 Space Lands $110M to Build High-Power Satellites

Torrance-based K2 Space just raised $110 million in Series B funding, co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Altimeter Capital. The company, which has now secured $180 million since its launch in 2022, is working on high-power, multi-orbit satellites designed to make space operations more efficient and affordable.

With a new 180,000-square-foot facility in Torrance, K2 is scaling up production—and a successful in-space demo proves they’re on the right track. As demand grows for more powerful satellites, this funding puts them in a strong position to compete.

True Anomaly Expands into Long Beach

LA's space industry is scaling fast, and True Anomaly is the latest company to plant roots in Long Beach. The defense tech startup is opening a 90,000-square-foot facility to develop next-gen space security and reconnaissance systems.

Of that, 70,000 square feet will be dedicated to engineering and production, while the remaining space will house office and R&D teams. With more satellites playing key roles in national security and commercial operations, True Anomaly’s expansion positions it right where it needs to be—close to top aerospace talent and major government clients.

Apple Unveils iPhone 16e

Apple has added a new model to its lineup with the iPhone 16e, a budget-friendly but powerful option. Priced at $599, it includes:

  • A18 chip with Apple Intelligence
  • 48MP 2-in-1 camera system
  • 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display
  • Face ID, replacing the classic home button

Pre-orders start February 21, with availability beginning February 28. Apple is positioning the 16e as a mid-tier option that brings AI-driven capabilities to a wider audience without the premium price tag.

TikTok Returns to U.S. App Stores

After a brief removal, TikTok is back on Apple and Google app stores following a delay in enforcement of a potential national ban. The White House assured tech platforms they won’t face penalties for keeping the app available, at least for now.

For creators, brands, and businesses that depend on TikTok, it’s a relief—but the platform’s long-term future in the U.S. is still up in the air.

FireAid Distributes $50M for Wildfire Relief

While LA’s tech industry looks ahead, major efforts this week focused on immediate recovery. FireAid announced $50 million in wildfire relief grants to support Los Angeles communities impacted by the recent devastating wildfires.

The first round of grants will help local nonprofits and organizations providing housing, financial assistance, essential goods, and emergency support to those affected. Some of the initial recipients include:

  • United Way of Greater Los Angeles – Providing direct financial aid and community-based recovery efforts.
  • Baby2Baby – Supplying essential goods to families and children impacted by the fires.
  • CA Community Foundation’s Wildfire Relief Fund – Supporting emergency relief and long-term recovery.
  • LA Fire Department Foundation – Assisting first responders with wildfire-related resources.
  • Meet Each Need with Dignity (MEND) – Providing emergency food, housing, and job resources for displaced individuals.

FireAid’s benefit concert, which drew millions of viewers worldwide, has continued to raise funds, with additional grants expected to roll out in the coming months to further aid recovery and rebuilding efforts.

LA Isn't Just Keeping Up With the Future—It's Defining It.

From major investments in space and national security to new consumer tech and philanthropic efforts, LA is proving its influence across industries. The question isn’t what’s happening here—it’s what’s happening next.

        LA Tech Week: Final Days • Coco’s bots, Anduril’s helmet AI, Impulse’s moon freight

        🔦 Spotlight

        Happy Friday Los Angeles,

        Founders are closing out Tech Week, robots are getting a new research brain, space logistics are taking shape, and defense tech just moved mission command into a helmet.

        Anduril’s EagleEye: mission command, heads up

        Image Source: Anduril

        Anduril introduced EagleEye, a helmet mounted system that puts maps, comms, sensor fusion, and on device AI directly in a warfighter’s line of sight, integrated with the Lattice stack. The goal is simple: less time looking down at a tablet and more decisions made at the edge.

        Impulse Space: a practical path to lunar deliveries

        Image Source: Impulse Space

        Impulse outlined a two piece ride to the Moon. Its Helios stage ferries an Impulse built lander to lunar orbit in about a week, the lander detaches, then descends to the surface without in-space refueling. The company says each mission could carry about three tons and that starting in 2028 it could run two missions per year for roughly six tons total, filling the gap between today’s small CLPS deliveries and future heavy landers.

        Coco Robotics: new lab, new chief AI scientist

        Image Source: Coco Robotics

        Coco named UCLA’s Bolei Zhou chief AI scientist and is launching a physical AI research lab to turn years of curbside driving data into faster, more autonomous sidewalk deliveries. Expect quicker iteration from data collection to local models on the bots.
