From CNBC:

Former Disney Channel star and singer Bridgit Mendler is now the CEO of startup Northwood Space, a company based in California aiming to change how satellite data reaches the ground. The company will mass produce ground stations, with initial funding of about $6 million. Mendler is building Northwood with two cofounders. The company aims to build satellite ground stations that are designed with fast production and deployment flexibility first in mind. Northwood plans to target services for satellites in low Earth orbit initially and aims to conduct a first test connecting to a spacecraft in orbit later this year.
