$509M of new funding is targeting automotive and mobility
3 funded companies building into automotive and mobility. The work in scope is what the Head of Vehicle Programs owns today.
The funding
We provide efficient in-space mobility that moves payloads from low Earth orbit to any destination. Our vehicles deliver rapid, reliable access, reducing costs and timelines to make space operations feasible for commercial, government, and scientific missions.

Capital arriving in a function is a reliable leading indicator. It does not mean the incumbents are wrong, and it does not mean these companies will succeed. It means that within the next few quarters the people who run this work will be asked what their function is doing about it, and the honest answer has to start with where that function actually stands.
So we built the assessment for it. Not a purchase decision, a structured set of questions to take to your own team.
