Accel led the Series D funding round in World View.

Accel, a global venture capital firm, completed the closing of a rolling Series D funding round in World View, a private aerospace technology company specializing in stratospheric remote sensing and flight. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Stratospheric flight adds a critical capability for Earth observation and intelligence, and World View has quietly become the category leader. They’ve proven they can deliver persistent, high-resolution data at a fraction of the cost and complexity of satellites, and they’re doing it in real operational environments. We’ve backed them for years because they execute. This round is about helping them scale that proven capability to meet growing demand,” Sameer Gandhi, Partner Accel.
