About Cascade Space Cascade Space (YC X25) is a space communications infrastructure startup. We are building a ground network and system design software to support next generation spacecraft, with an emphasis on deep space exploration.

Our Cascade Portal is an web application that allows users to model their spacecraft communications link and perform dynamic simulations.
How we work
- Deep work: We are an early stage startup, and need to work hard. That said, work is not measured by how many hours you put in but by how much value you ship. We prioritize conditions for doing our best work, minimizing distraction and context switching.
- In Person: Face to face collaboration is important! Its not just about efficiency, we are social creatures and building rapport in person is foundational to teamwork.
- Wellbeing: We believe the best results come from staying healthy. We stock healthy food in the office, stay active outside of work, and take time off to recharge. You wont win brownie points for pounding Red Bulls and pulling all-nighters here. There wont be any beer on tap.
