This morning I sat down with @HarryStebbings for the spiciest podcast I have ever done. We are both 29, English entrepreneurs, who went global (me physically and him metaphorically, building the @twentyminutevc International Media Brand). Airing soon! Stay tuned!
We are proud to announce our selection as a prime contractor under the U.S. Space Force’s $1.84 billion Andromeda IDIQ. We’re excited to support Space Systems Command in advancing this critical Space Domain Awareness initiative.
Turion was founded on the belief that the next era of space belongs to companies that move fast, deliver results, and never confuse size with capability.
This award validates Turion’s speed, grit, and proven technology. We remain committed to developing the tools and capabilities needed to secure the ultimate high ground.

Today, Turion is announcing the close of our $75M+ Series B, led by @WashingHarbour, with participation from existing investors @Aurelia_Foundry, @forward_deploy, and @FoundersXVC, alongside new partners Center15 Capital, Magnetar, @HOFCapital, and @IndustriousVC.
When we founded Turion in 2021, the mission was clear: build the most capable commercial spacecraft on orbit, win the contracts that would fund our vision, and lay the infrastructure for the space economy.
We did that. This round validates our team, our portfolio, and our vision. More importantly, it's an inflection point that expands what we can build and how fast we can build it. The future of space isn't waiting. Neither are we.
In just the last few weeks since @SVMansuri has joined as President and COO, we are now on track to more than double the units on platform m/m.
A true force multiplier. Very excited for the future @wander

We’re excited to welcome @SVMansuri as President & COO @Wander. From day one, he’s brought a level of clarity, execution and leadership that’s already shaping how and what we build. We’ve never been more confident in our vision to build the infrastructure to experience the world.
The marketplace has hit a meaningfully positive net take rate per booking after all costs.
It also has a very high NPS (tho more work to do UX wise) at thousands of units.
Our customers and our economics have given us permission to hyper-scale - and now we shall.
We added 120 locations in the last 24 hours @wander to the core marketplace.
The full platform, is now growing at 3k+ a month. I think 100k total units on Wander is possible by EOY.
we're hiring a distributed systems / ml engineer, starting @ $250k + 2% equity
