Spotlight: Quadsat – From Seraphim Accelerator Alum to Defense-Grade Spectrum Intelligence Leader

Written by: Leah Martin | July 17, 2025

Quadsat, a standout graduate of our Mission 1 Seraphim Space Accelerator cohort (2018), has now closed a €5 million Series A+ financing, led by Join Capital and North Ventures. Seraphim is proud to remain alongside this forward‑thinking team as a continuing investor in their exciting next phase.

Journey from Startup to Strategic SpaceTech

Since joining our accelerator, Quadsat has evolved from early-stage innovators, using UAVs to calibrate satellite antennas, to a mission-critical provider of platform-agnostic spectrum intelligence and RF geolocation solutions. Their cutting-edge technology is now being leveraged across both commercial satellite operations and national defense domains.

What Does This Round Mean?

This Series A+ round positions Quadsat to:

  • Deepen focus on defence applications, scaling solutions vital for RF detection, interference resolution, and jamming resistance.
  • Expand into NATO-aligned markets, enhancing presence in countries where multi-domain defence capabilities are increasingly crucial.
  • Accelerate product development, ensuring their systems meet the rigorous demands of military-grade electronic warfare environments.

Why This Matters

  • Dual‑use innovation at its best: Quadsat’s technology bridges commercial and defence needs, delivering vital signal intelligence across air, land, sea, cyber, and space operations.
  • Real operational impact: Their UAV-based spectrum testing is already supporting mission-critical operations in Ukraine, demonstrating real-world effectiveness under pressure.
  • High-growth market: With the global electronic warfare sector projected to exceed $19 billion by 2028, Quadsat is strategically positioned to scale fast and deliver foundational technology to critical infrastructure.

Seraphim’s Role

At Seraphim, we invest in founders building transformative, high-impact tech and Quadsat embodies that vision. From the day they entered the accelerator to today’s strategic growth round, we’ve been honored to support their leadership, technical excellence, and unwavering focus on real-world outcomes.

Congratulations to Joakim Espeland, Klaus Aude, and the full Quadsat team and many thanks to our co-investors (Join Capital, North Ventures, EIFO, and others) for your confidence. We’re excited to continue this journey alongside you as you scale spectrum intelligence across the globe.
