Krucial

Krucial is a cutting-edge satellite communications scale-up that provides technology to connect enterprises to industrial IoT and mission-critical data from anywhere on Earth. Krucial’s technology uses both satellite and cellular communications protocols to transmit data, automatically switching between the two depending on which is stronger, reducing the risk of downtime if one goes down or a power outage strikes. Since being founded in 2018, Krucial has raised seed funding of $4.3mn led by Space Capital, joined by the Scottish National Investment Bank, Scottish Enterprise, the University of Strathclyde, and others. It has commercialized multiple products, built a team of around 30 members, and undertaken successful trials across several high-value industries.
