Gama, a Paris-based spacetech, raised €15 million in seed funding from [Transition](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000mlf/transition), [Planet](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000ah9/planet-a-ventures) A, Draper Associates and Manta Ray to build its first production line for Wing, its deployable satellite solar array. [Tech Funding News](https://techfundingnews.com/gama-15m-seed-satellite-solar-arrays-wing/) reported the round on November 12, 2026.

## Gama's Wing Production Line Plans

The funding will go toward building the first Wing production line at Gama's Ivry-sur-Seine site near Paris and will allow the company to hire around 60 more people. Gama currently has 30 employees. The company was founded in 2022 by Andrew Nutter, Louis de Gouyon Matignon and Thibaud Elziere, and its first mission, Gama Alpha, launched in 2023.

Gama moved from solar sails to satellite solar arrays after finding it difficult to secure funding for the solar sail business. "We very quickly realised it was going to be complicated to get the funding to make it happen," Nutter told TFN. "We need a product, and we need volume," he said.

Wing provides the full power system: an array rotator, power management, optional energy storage and control software to interface with the customer's flight computer. Gama uses high-volume silicon cells originally made for the rooftop market, and the company says it has a six-month lead time once production starts. Nutter said launch has become cheaper and "the constraint has moved to power."
