Paris, 4 November 2026 - Stellar has been selected for Future 40, STATION F’s annual ranking of its best-performing startups. This recognition rewards Stellar’s vision, highly attractive financial KPIs and strong commercial momentum, and comes as the company prepares its Series A fundraising round. Stellar is one of only 40 startups chosen out of 1,200 on growth and performance metrics, a selection rate of around 3%.

Stellar’s STEER® software is the control layer for the internet, a Waze for IP traffic, European and sovereign: it orchestrates all terrestrial and satellite IP networks, including 5G, Wi-Fi, satellite, fiber, and point-to-point radio, through aggregation and seamless switching, selecting the best paths in real time. Uniquely frugal, with the world-lowest edge footprint, it runs where conventional routers cannot: certified equipment and installed hardware. This is a key differentiator, fit for the constraints of drones, robots, aircraft and edge AI.

The inclusion in the Future 40 follows a period during which Stellar has attracted significant interest from new customers within government, mobility, and enterprise, as the company approaches its next fundraising stage.

“This selection is a strong signal as we open our Series A,” said Damien Garot, CEO and co-founder of Stellar. “Our vision is simple: we don’t need another network. Infrastructure is already a commodity and existing networks are enough for near-perfect connectivity, if you manage them properly. Our customers prove it every day, and our financial performance shows the market has endorsed it.”
