ConnectX

Putting supercomputers in small satellites to solve the problems of Big Data. Satellites are now smaller and cheaper to launch. The first companies to provide this build/launch/manage technology will dominate a forthcoming $76B market. It is difficult to operate small devices in space but worth doing because tiny, powerful satellites can store, process, secure, send and receive massive amounts of Big Data anywhere in the world. Expensive cloud computing and networks on earth cannot keep up with the exponential growth in information. ConnectX is developing a small satellite platform that can manage all Big Data at a fraction of the cost of terrestrial solutions. Any company that provides these capabilities will have immediate demand and be a few short years from having a billion dollar valuation. This profile is about our emerging business projected to lower the cost of storing, computing and analyzing Big Data from $900/TB per year to $39/TB per year.
