Stoke Space raises $1 billion as it prepares its first orbital launch

Stoke Space completed an initial closing of a $1 billion Series E round, bringing its total capital raised to $2.3 billion. The company said the funding will support its first orbital launch, expand production and launch capacity, and accelerate development of its larger Nova Block 2 vehicle; the Nova Pathfinder first flight is targeted for early 2027.

Employee impact

The financing materially extends Stoke’s ability to fund engineering, manufacturing, test and launch operations through a critical development phase. It is a strong growth signal, but the first orbital flight remains ahead and the company did not announce a hiring number. Candidates should distinguish roles essential to Pathfinder milestones from longer-horizon Block 2 expansion.
