Galaxia lands $4.5M led by Amiral Ventures to build satellite computers for Canada's space sector

Galaxia, a deep tech company building satellite computing systems, has raised $4.5M in a financing aimed at bringing satellite computers to Canada's space race, according to funding data tracked by AI Funding.

The round, dated September 10, 2026, was led by Montréal-based venture capital firm Amiral Ventures. It is the only funding round tracked for the company to date, bringing its cumulative total raised to $5M in the database. The company's single tracked round is listed without a named round type.

Galaxia develops satellite computers for use in space applications, focusing on hardware designed to support mission operations beyond terrestrial environments. Its stated market is the Canadian space sector, where it aims to contribute infrastructure for a growing space economy — a positioning that places it squarely in hardware rather than pure software territory.

That distinction matters for how the deal reads against the rest of the early-stage funding market. The company is classified as an early-stage deep tech business rather than an AI software company, meaning its capital needs skew toward the physical systems that fly on orbit rather than the compute layers that sit above them.

Its investor list points in the same direction. Amiral Ventures, the Montréal-based firm backing the round, has one tracked round in this database, according to the company profile entry attached to Galaxia.

One wrinkle in the record: the company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, while its stated market is Canada's space sector. That combination — a U.S. base paired with an explicitly Canadian commercial focus — is reflected in both the round description and the company's own investor profile, which identifies Amiral Ventures by its Montréal location.

The funding announcement does not disclose what the capital will be used for, nor does it attach a valuation or revenue figure to the company. No direct quote from Galaxia or Amiral Ventures was included in the tracked coverage.

In the deep tech category, Galaxia sits alongside far larger infrastructure names tracked in the same database, including fiber, life sciences, tunnel infrastructure and space propulsion companies whose cumulative raises run into the billions — a useful reminder of how early-stage the satellite computing bet currently is.
