2024 ASCEND Day 1: MICRO 04 Overcoming the Cold Start Problem
Building a space tech company is CapEx intensive for all. Attendees heard strategies from some of the most successful space startups (who weren’t started by billionaires) on how to raise both non-dilutive and dilutive capital, as well as how to help potential investors digest the significant CapEx needs over time.
The session was organized by the Techstars Space Accelerator in partnership with U.S. Space Force and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and was hosted by Matt Kozlov, MD, Techstars Space, and Sherman Williams, AIN.
