A bright spot: the Private Sector Innovator Base rises to an A-. Dual-use and non-traditional defense companies are growing their Pentagon footprint, and investor confidence in defense tech is at an all-time high.

.@seasats announced that it closed a $20M Series A led by Konvoy Ventures, with participation from Shield Capital, Techstars, and others. That fresh capital brings their total funding to over $40M, and it’s all about scaling production and moving faster.

There is a simple math problem unfolding across the modern defense landscape:
Expensive legacy systems lose out over the long term to affordable, rapidly deployable and scalable systems.
The same is true for our interactive future in orbit. National security in space needs to work economically, not just technically.
We’re focused on making cost-effective satellite servicing a reality with Otter.
Listen in as our co-founder, @AustinLink, expands on this and other aspects of the Starfish story with @ShieldCapVC: youtu.be/WTpkW50AjQk

We're excited to share that Apex has signed a trilateral MoU with @4iGSDT and its subsidiary REMRED, to bring sovereign satellite manufacturing capabilities to Hungary and serve the broader European market.
"The collaboration announced today is about redefining what’s possible in high-rate satellite manufacturing for proliferated constellations,” said Apex CEO @IanCinnamon. “By harnessing Apex’s proven mass-production expertise with the innovation and ambition of our European partners, we’re accelerating the transition to a future where satellite constellations can be deployed at unprecedented speed and scale on a global basis.”
We look forward to working with 4iG SDT and REMRED to establish scaled satellite manufacturing in Europe and support the next generation of critical, proliferated European constellations.
