Y Combinator LogoS22ActiveSpace ExplorationSatellites

Streamline and automate satellite design, test, and operations.

Quindar is a web app used by satellite owners to analyze, test and operate their constellation. For example, Airbus could use Quindar to operate their satellite fleet with minimal human intervention. We’re six former OneWeb engineers who helped build the software platform that currently operates the second largest satellite constellation in the world. The space industry is shifting from companies launching a handful of satellites over a decade, to launching hundreds of satellites EACH in just a few years. Our SaaS platform automates mission management and for a single engineer to operate hundreds of satellites instead of the traditional model of many engineers operating a single satellite.

Sunny Bhagavathula

I am an astrodynamicist with experience flying telecommunication and Earth-observation satellites. After grad school at Michigan, I helped architect and build two high-fidelity flight dynamics systems with an emphasis on space sustainability. I am excited about lowering the barrier to orbit and providing tools for satellite owners to be responsible users of space through Quindar. Outside of work, I love to spend time playing and watching sports, rock climbing, cycling, and hiking.

Nate Hamet

I'm one of the co-founders and CEO of Quindar. I've worked in the space industry for almost a decade doing electrical, software, and mission design for Lockheed Martin, OneWeb, and Orbital Effects. At OneWeb I helped architect the TT&C ground system that operates the second largest satellite constellation today. I went to undergrad and grad school at the University of Michigan studying aerospace and meteorology. In my free time I love to cook, travel, and participate in sports.

David Lawrence

Dave Lawrence studied Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M and since then has helped design and operate satellite systems at several companies, including Boeing, Iridium, and OneWeb. He has led in-orbit commissioning and systems integration campaigns for communications and earth observations satellites. He'll bring this experience to Quindar to build a satellite operations platform that enables access to space!

Zach Meza

I am a software engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence. Since graduating in 2016 I've worked on two satellite missions to develop the programs' mission operations software from the ground up; the software I've written to is still in use to operate the satellites and orchestrate the ground systems. At Quindar I serve as Head of Software alongside my five fellow cofounders, with whom I have worked for the last six years.

Matt Regan

I'm an aerospace engineer by study and a software engineer by trade. Since entering the workforce I've worked at a myriad of satellite and space missions from defense satellites to mega-consteallation for global internet. I am particularly excited about participating in the latest space revolution and working towards lowering the barrier of space for all interested parties. Outside of work, I'll usually spend time with friends, playing soccer, or watching any Michigan game. Go Blue!
