Founded in 2020 by Will Bruey (ex-SpaceX) and Founders Fund partner Delian Asparouhov, Varda Space Industries operates from El Segundo, California, producing pharmaceuticals in microgravity and flying hypersonic re-entry capsules under its W-Series platform. The W-1 capsule returned ritonavir crystals to Utah in 2024, and W-2 launched on SpaceX Transporter-12 in January 2025, landing at Koonibba, Australia in February with an AFRL plasma spectrometer. DoD hypersonic test contracts complement commercial drug work. A $187M Series C in July 2025 lifted total funding to roughly $329M.
