An experienced advisory firm with the technical depth and financial fluency to turn space-economy ventures into viable projects, across launch, satellites, earth observation, communications, and the defense, telecom, and deep-tech sectors that intersect them.
The Argonauts were specialists, recruited for a single hard passage and the prize at the end of it. We work the same way. The space economy rewards those who can decipher the technical aspects and translate them into financial requirements; most advisors command only one. We work fluently in both, across the full breadth of the sector, and embed alongside management to maximize the odds a venture reaches its objective, technically and financially.
Deep engineering expertise across space systems combined with corporate-finance and capital-markets fluency. We translate hard technology into a business case institutions can act on.
We help institutions steer the technical development of their next-generation programs, decide where to allocate capital, and execute through direct negotiation with industry counterparties.
Extensive work with export credit agencies and independent PE and VC funds. Our finance network identifies the right capital sources and what it takes to attract them.
Proprietary global models spanning launch, broadband, and remote-sensing systems, augmented by a curated network of subsystem, ground, payload, and spectrum experts.
Three decades across aerospace and telecommunications, spanning technical design, business development, and C-suite leadership. A globally recognized authority on satellite supplier capabilities, cost drivers, and pricing across GEO, LEO, and earth-observation segments.
Thirty years across investment banking, private equity, and venture capital, with operating roles as CEO and CFO of space-sector companies. Brings corporate strategy, M&A, and project-finance expertise, and a sharp eye for the risk, cost, and timing that decide whether a program clears.
