Cowboy Space Corporation, formerly known as Aetherflux, is a San Carlos, California-based aerospace company founded by Robinhood co-founder Baiju Bhatt, building vertically integrated rockets and orbital data centers for the AI era.
Cowboy Space Corporation was founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt, the co-founder and former co-CEO of trading app Robinhood, originally operating under the name Aetherflux and focused specifically on developing space-based solar power technology, collecting solar energy in orbit using satellites and transmitting it back to Earth using infrared lasers, an old space-based solar power concept the company sought to make newly commercially viable, before undergoing a significant strategic rebrand and pivot in 2026 to embrace a considerably more ambitious vision. Under its new Cowboy Space name and brand, the company has pivoted toward building vertically integrated orbital infrastructure combining its own launch vehicles with in-orbit computing, designing its rockets so that the upper stage itself remains in orbit after launch and transforms into a fully operational one-megawatt AI data center, rather than being discarded as typical rocket upper stages are, an unusually "blank sheet" engineering approach intended to eliminate redundant mass and directly address the growing computing capacity constraints facing the AI industry as terrestrial data center capacity and power grid connections struggle to keep pace with AI demand. The company is collaborating with Nvidia to deploy specialized space-hardened AI computing modules in orbit, and raised $275 million in a Series B round in May 2026 led by Index Ventures at a $2 billion valuation, bringing its total funding to roughly $365 million, positioning Cowboy Space in direct competition with far more established players including SpaceX and Blue Origin as it pursues its ambitious vertically integrated orbital infrastructure vision.
