Locus Lock to expand GNSS receiver production with new funding

SAN FRANCISCO – Colorado startup Locus Lock has raised venture capital to produce global navigation satellite system receivers for maritime, airborne, terrestrial and space applications.

“Sensors for advanced and autonomous navigation weren’t providing the trustworthy, precise and secure positioning data needed for safe and informed navigation,” Locus Lock CEO Hailey Nichols told SpaceNews. As a result, Locus Lock developed software-defined receivers to operate in “complex and challenging environments, inclusive of areas that are GPS-contested or denied,” Nichols said.

Locus Lock, founded in 2021 at the University of Texas at Austin’s Radionavigation Laboratory, directed by engineering professor Todd Humphreys, produces receivers offering “high-end performance at a price that make sense for mass market adoption in commercial and defense ecosystems,” Nichols said.

AIN Ventures led Locus Lock’s investment round. Participants included Aurelia Foundry, CreationsVC, Jolt VC, ff Venture Capital, Techstars and the University of Texas Seed Fund.

“Locus Lock represents the best combination of deep technical expertise and market readiness,” Sherman Williams, AIN Ventures managing partner, said in a statement. “Their transition from academic innovation to commercial application, particularly in critical sectors like autonomous mobility, made this a compelling investment opportunity for us.”

Signal Diversity

In addition to GPS, Locus Lock relies on global and regional constellations including Europe’s Galileo constellation, China’s Beidou and Japan’s QZSS. The startup’s receivers also are compatible with satellite-based augmentation systems.

“That’s important for signal diversity and availability,” Nichols said.

With the recent investment, Locus Lock plans to expand its staff, scale up manufacturing and convert pilot program customers to regular customers.

Locus Lock is not disclosing the value of the investment round. The company also received a Colorado Advanced Industries Early-Stage Capital and Retention Grant.

Hiring in Boulder “is one of the main things that we are looking to do in this next year,” Nichols said. Locus Lock manufactures receivers in Colorado.

Satellite Customers

Aerospace companies, including satellite operators “typically are operating in highly dynamical environments with quite low signal-to-noise ratios,” Nichols said. “Without having access to a very flexible, very capable receiver, they won’t achieve the type of [position navigation and timing] results needed to drive their mission forward.”

Locus Lock customers include several unnamed satellite operators.

From 2021 to 2023, while Nichols was a graduate student earning a master’s degree in aerospace engineering at the University of Texas, Locus Lock did not solicit external investment. That changed in 2023 when Locus Lock spun out of the university laboratory and joined the Techstars Space Accelerator.
