Low Earth orbit is open for business. Varda is accelerating the development of commercial space infrastructure, from in-orbit pharmaceutical processing to reliable and economical reentry capsules.
Reusable rockets have lowered the cost of access to space and opened up a range of in-space activities. Now that access to space is cheap, it’s what we do there that counts.
From new, life-saving pharmaceuticals to more powerful fiber optic cables, there is a world of products used on Earth today that can only be manufactured in space.
Varda is accelerating innovation in the orbital economy by creating both the products and infrastructure needed so space can directly benefit life on Earth. Our mission is to expand the economic bounds of humankind.
Our team is uniquely suited to accomplish this goal, with leadership and staff comprised of veterans from SpaceX, Blue Origin, major pharmaceutical companies, and Silicon Valley.
Varda was founded in January 2021 by Will Bruey and Delian Asparouhov with significant backing from world-class investors including Khosla Ventures, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, Caffeinated Capital, General Catalyst, and Also Capital.
Varda has an office in Washington, D.C., and both an office and production facility in El Segundo, California, where our vehicles, equipment, and materials are built, integrated, and tested.
