Securing funding is a critical challenge for space startups. These sessions provide a valuable platform to engage with venture capitalists actively investing in space technology and capable of providing significant capital.
Securing Investment: Company Concept, Capital, and Customer Acquisition — Groundbreaking technology and entrepreneurial spirit are becoming commonplace in the space sector. However, a robust technical design alone is insufficient. Successful market penetration requires both capital and a dedicated customer base.
Transitioning from the conceptual phase to development is more likely to succeed with secured funding and identified long-term customers. Chris O’Connor of Harpoon Ventures will discuss a startup’s success in identifying suitable venture partners and securing government prototyping opportunities.
Evaluating Later-Stage Space Companies — Funding later-stage space companies requires a nuanced approach, particularly given the evolving exit landscape of the industry. Tess Hatch (BVP), Shaun Maguire (Sequoia), and Lisa Rich (Hemisphere) will share their insights on assessing companies poised for growth.
Early-Stage Investment Strategies — Investing in space companies at their earliest stages carries inherent risks. However, these investors are prepared to provide crucial funding to help these companies establish themselves. Chad Anderson (Space Capital), Jonathan Fentzke (Techstars), and Jessica Robinson (Assembly Ventures) will discuss their criteria for selecting promising ventures.
TC Sessions: Space 2021 is scheduled for December 14-15. Protect your budget – purchase your pass before December 3 to save up to $100.
