Interview, Fireside Chat

Northwood, founded by CEO Bridget, delivers end-to-end ground infrastructure solutions that bridge the critical lag between accelerating satellite proliferation and outdated data capture capabilities. By vertically integrating hardware, software, and site development into deployable shipping container units, the company compresses deployment timelines from three years to just three months to serve commercial and government clients like the Space Force. With a team of 75 expanding globally to support resilient, high-frequency data throughput, Northwood aims to transform ground stations from single-satellite bottlenecks into a proliferated "United Nations" of orbital connectivity.
