A decade ago, space wasn’t an investor-friendly sector.
• Capital for hardware companies was hard to find.
• Build cycles took years.
• Private-sector policies were limited.
Most of the world depended on a few large players for launch vehicles, satellites, and subsystems.
When we started working on propulsion, these problems became very real.
• Lead times ran into years.
• The supply chain was fragmented.
• A single system could cost as much as a Series A round for a consumer startup.
And yet, our daily lives depend on satellites such as communication, navigation, weather, connectivity. We are already deeply connected to space.
To improve life on Earth, satellite systems need to get better, and they need to be faster, more affordable, and easier to access. So, we chose to work on redefining the tech, cost, and lead time.
Vertical integration wasn’t part of a grand plan. It started out of necessity, slowly became a strategy, and today it’s part of who we are
Today, the ecosystem has expanded significantly.
• 300 space tech startups
• Multiple launch providers
• Flight heritage for indigenous technologies
• A larger talent pool and growing interest to be of this sector
And as the ecosystem matured, so did expectations, from customers, partners, and the market at large.
