After recognizing that finding the right product and service providers is extremely difficult in the SmallSat industry, Narayan Prasad and his co-founders committed themselves to creating the solution. The result was SatSearch, The Global Marketplace For Space.

Essentially an Amazon.com for the space industry, SatSearch serves over 25,000 active monthly users on the buyer side and scores of product and service providers on the supplier side. The resulting marketplace is so good that NASA has integrated the SatSearch database into theirs, validating the quality of the information offered, and making it even easier for engineers and mission managers to find the right commercial partners in this burgeoning industry.
