Spin Co-Founder Raises $5M to Launch 10,000 Space-Based Data Centers
TechCrunch·low signal
Euwyn Poon, who built ~250,000 e-scooters at Spin, has raised $5M for Orbital, a venture aiming to launch 10,000 data centers into space to serve AI compute demand. The bet rides the thesis that orbital solar power and passive cooling could sidestep the terrestrial power and water constraints now throttling AI data-center growth. It's early and speculative, but reflects how acute the compute-siting problem has become.
