Score Rationale
Cascade Space has minimal credibility signals at this stage: no named founders, no disclosed funding, and only YC acceptance (a gate, not defense validation). Deep space comms is a real DoD/commercial need, but the company shows no evidence of government contracts, pilot customers, or technical differentiation—YC acceptance alone does not substitute for defense-sector traction or named customer validation at seed stage.
