Siamak Ebadi

Hold up, you need to know about Siamak Ebadi. This guy is the real deal when it comes to aerospace and satellite tech. He’s a straight-up tech nerd who jumped into the space game a long time ago and never looked back. Started out crushing it with a solid electrical engineering background, got his B.S. from K. N. Toosi University, then went all-in with his M.S. and Ph.D. at Tarbiat Modares University. Dude’s been deep in RF, antennas, wireless, all that geeky stuff since forever.

He’s worked at the top, like SpaceX on Starlink as a Senior Antenna Engineer, yeah, the guy was building the gear that actually makes satellites talk in space. Before that, he led the RF team at Astranis, creating satellites that actually work in orbit. And he’s not just about satellites, he’s also messed around with wireless power transmission at Ossia, trying to send electricity through the air. Plus, he’s got experience at Intellectual Ventures working on metamaterials, next-gen tech for RF and antennas.

What’s crazy is, he’s not just some guy who jumped into startups. He’s been doing hardcore research, even working in Italy on European projects, publishing patents, pushing the boundaries of wireless tech. But his real breakthrough? He started Farcast (which used to be UTVATE), a Y Combinator-backed startup making waves in the satellite industry. It’s like he took everything he learned from working at the biggest players and turned it into his own thing that’s actually solving big problems.

What does that say about him? This guy’s driven by a pure passion for connectivity and space tech. He’s not just doing this for the money, he genuinely wants to change how we connect globally, break through the bullshit barriers of communication. His process shows he’s all about pushing limits, taking big risks, and building stuff that matters, not just talking about it.

Now, he’s based in San Francisco, the heart of startup chaos, but his mind is in the stars. He’s the kind of founder who’s been in the trenches, knows his shit, and is here to shake up the satellite world. No Cap, Siamak Ebadi is one of those guys who’s been quietly crushing it behind the scenes, but now he’s totally in the spotlight, making moves that could actually change how we stay connected across the globe.
