Stoke Space vs Loombotic
Side-by-side comparison of AI visibility scores, market position, and capabilities
Kent WA aerospace company developing fully reusable two-stage Nova rocket; $990M total raised with $510M Series D in 2025 from USIT plus Space Force contract competing with SpaceX for medium-lift reusable launch.
About
Stoke Space Technologies is a Kent, Washington-based aerospace launch company developing Nova — the first fully reusable two-stage rocket with both a reusable booster (first stage) and a reusable upper stage (second stage) — targeting the medium-lift launch market with a 4,500 kg to LEO payload capacity at economics enabled by full vehicle reuse rather than expendable second stages. Founded by Andy Lapsa and Tom Feldman (both Boeing engineers) and backed by Y Combinator (W21) with $990 million total raised including a $510 million Series D in September 2025 led by Thomas Tull's US Innovative Technology Fund (USIT), a $260 million Series C in January 2025 led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and a US Space Force National Security Space Launch contract award in 2025.
Toronto automated wire harness factory (YC F24, 2024); 99% yields and 2x throughput from AI robotics targeting $200B manual harness market; ex-Tesla/Ericsson founders competing with Komax for EV and aerospace automation.
About
Loombotic is a Toronto, Ontario-based manufacturing automation company — backed by Y Combinator (Fall 2024 cohort) — building the world's first fully automated wire harness factory using AI-driven robotics to deliver precision wire harnesses in as little as 7 days for electric vehicle, aerospace, data center, and industrial automation customers. Founded in 2024 by CEO Ethan Breit (programming since age 8, former Ericsson embedded systems developer) and CTO Lucas Crupi (youngest SolidWorks expert at age 15, former Tesla Cybertruck battery design engineer), the founding team first met at the Canada Wide Science Fair and built together for six years before launching Loombotic. The 4-person company has achieved 99% manufacturing yields and 2x throughput improvements through lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies applied to automated wire harness production, targeting the $200+ billion global wire harness market that has resisted automation despite advances in other manufacturing sectors.
