The company release fixes the announcement date as September 7, 2026 and names the participant as “M&G Catalyst,” not “M&G Catalyst Fund.” Other sources use differing date or amount formats and omit M&G Catalyst, so the company's release controls.
2 sources
The source identifies M&G Catalyst and Glade Brook Capital Partners as new investors in the Series B extension, but does not call either a lead. Google, Radical Ventures, and Lightspeed are described as existing backers, not investors in this extension; the source does not explicitly state Pixxel's headquarters.

Developing: it holds up against its sources so far, and firms up as more reporting lands.
Sources agree.
1 source
The source states a March 28, 2022 announcement date despite the page's later published date. It separately lists several companies and individuals as Pixxel's backers; those background investors are not treated as participants in this round unless they are named in the round's participation sentence.

Developing: it holds up against its sources so far, and firms up as more reporting lands.
Sources agree. The article describes the $7.3 million seed round as an extension of the $5 million Pixxel announced in August 2020; the earlier $5 million is not included in this round's amount.

Developing: it holds up against its sources so far, and firms up as more reporting lands.
The source supports the seed stage, $5 million amount, three lead investors, and three other investors. It does not state an announcement day; it only identifies the article in the August 2020 URL. The source also says Pixxel had earlier raised $700,000 from Techstars and growX Ventures in June 2019; growX Ventures is nevertheless explicitly named as a lead in the current round.

Pixxel builds hyperspectral Earth-observation satellites and software that help governments, industries, and institutions turn detailed views of Earth into actionable intelligence.
Pixxel is addressing a stated gap in conventional Earth observation by combining much richer spectral data with high spatial resolution for agriculture, climate, energy, mining, and other monitoring use cases. The company says its latest $100 million Series C brought total funding to $195 million, funding expansion from hyperspectral satellites toward broader sensing, satellite systems, and Aurora software for decision-ready intelligence.
