Marble Imaging has raised an additional €6 million led by Cherry Ventures. The round brings the German startup's total seed funding to €11.3 million. Marble is building Germany's first commercial very-high-resolution satellite constellation.
Funding so far
The new round follows a €5.3 million seed investment led by High-Tech Gründerfonds in December 2025. Marble has also received over €10 million in non-dilutive funding from DLR and ESA. The company's total equity funding now stands at around €12 million.
Company context
Marble is based in Bremen and employs just under 40 people. It has more than 10 customers, including several government clients. Revenue has grown to several million euros, with a contract pipeline above €20 million.
What the satellite does
The first satellite, Marble Sat-1, is fully funded and has completed pre-flight testing. It is scheduled to launch with SpaceX in February 2027 after shipment to California in December. The satellite will capture sub-meter imagery in visible, near-infrared, and shortwave infrared bands.
Marble plans to operate 30 satellites by 2030. It is also building an AI analytics platform that turns multi-source data into answers. The customer portal is already live and in use.
