Seattle-based IoT startup Hubble Network officially reached coveted unicorn status after securing a massive $200 million Series C funding round, boosting its valuation to $1.6 billion. Hubble Network achieved what many thought impossible: opening its active orbital constellation to general availability, allowing standard, off-the-shelf Bluetooth chips to communicate directly with space. This infrastructure milestone will allow billions of basic sensors in agriculture, logistics, and consumer tech to maintain global coverage without needing expensive satellite hardware.
