Kymeta is an Intellectual Ventures spin-off company which aims to develop and commercialize the metamaterials surface antenna technology (M-SAT).

Metamaterials Surface Antenna Technology (MSA-T) was invented by Intellectual Ventures, where a dedicated team of engineers performed significant research and development to de-risk the technology. Recognizing the enormous potential of MSA-T, Kymeta was formed as a spin-out company from Intellectual Ventures. Kymeta has been granted an exclusive license from Intellectual Ventures to leverage MSA-T to create game-changing satellite user terminal products.

Kymeta received funding from Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates; a global cable company Liberty Global; and the investment firm Lux Capital. Kymeta's applied science is derived from the collaborative efforts of Dr. Nathan Kundtz and David R. Smith, at Duke University. metamaterials surface antenna technology is a new invention that is intended to be more efficient and compact than conventional satellite antennas.
