Umbra

At the heart of Umbra is a culture driven by a relentless pursuit of innovation and a shared passion for solving some of the world's most complex challenges. Founded in Santa Barbara, California, by lifelong friends David Langan and Gabe Dominocielo, Umbra is built on the foundational belief that technology must evolve through the power of the free market and a commitment to first principles. The company's mission is to deliver global omniscience, a bold objective that originates from its expertise in remote sensing on a global scale. This mission fuels an aggressive spirit that not only seeks but warmly embraces innovation and change. The team at Umbra is a diverse collection of individuals, from surfers and sailors to StarCraft players and stand-up comics, all united by a common dedication to the company's vision and the challenging work that comes with it. This unique blend of backgrounds fosters a creative and dynamic environment where new ideas are encouraged and boundaries are constantly pushed.

Umbra's core values are deeply rooted in American ownership and control, with a team that shares a common history and objectives. This foundation underpins the company's commitment to serving the United States and its allies by providing cutting-edge products that address critical business and security needs. The culture is one of empowerment, where employees are encouraged to take ownership of their work and contribute to a larger purpose. Leadership at Umbra is genuinely invested in the well-being and happiness of each employee, fostering a supportive and sincere atmosphere that is rare in the industry. This focus on building a lasting company, rather than just chasing the next payday, resonates throughout the organization. The team thrives on solving hard problems collaboratively, and this spirit of cooperation and mutual support is a cornerstone of Umbra's identity. By building next-generation space systems that observe the Earth with unprecedented fidelity, Umbra is not just creating technology; it's building a legacy of innovation and a team dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the world.
