I spent years building, operating and selling a major satellite connectivity company. The lesson: space is brutally hard to execute. I back operators with conviction, real passion for the technology, and a clear path to lead their market. @FutureCorpVC @NYSE #Infrastructure #SpaceEconomy #Investing

My aha moment came at Anuvu. We became the first major customer for Astranis; taking their MicroGEO platform into commercial service for our airlines. That’s when it hit me: a new generation of space companies is here. Capital-intensive, hugely ambitious, and deeply relevant. @FutureCorpVC @NYSE #SpaceEconomy

People generally underestimate the progress that has been made in the space economy. The last decade quietly rewrote what’s possible in orbit. As launch gets cheaper, habitats, platforms and factories in low-Earth orbit move from sci-fi to roadmap. The buildout is moving faster than most people appreciate.

The real revolution in space is manufacturing in orbit. Fiber optics, pharma compounds. semiconductor materials; new cutting edge products that can only be manufactured in space. That’s the infrastructure we’re financing. Space manufacturing is entering an industrial phase.

This is a great time to be an investor in space infrastructure. Launch costs have come down 95% in the last 20 years. Sending a kilogram to orbit is closing in on the cost of flying it across the country overnight. That unlocks opportunities in infrastructure, microgravity biotech and more. @FutureCorpVC @NYSE #SpaceEconomy #Infrastructure #Investing

AI on Earth is hitting real constraints: power, water, cooling, zoning. Data centers are colliding with the communities around them. The next growth driver is orbit. Inexpensive launch plus new power and cooling make AI compute viable in space. AI and space are converging faster than the market realizes.

Venture capital got space companies off the ground. But realizing the vision takes far more than another round can carry. FutureCorp is focused on permanent capital: no fund clock, no forced sell-down. We’re long-term holders who believe the macro thesis. A different kind of capital, built for space. @FutureCorpVC #SpaceEconomy

@WandrMe Enter N-number at https://t.co/nioBeUSHMy or if you want to sort, you can download the FAA registry here https://t.co/bHAacA7ZWn. It can take some decoding to separate Experimental from Provisional (e.g. N680SK).

@jonostrower @LeehamNews @cirium @boomsupersonic @Boeing It takes conviction in route authorities UA has now, global ambition, and creative Open Skies exploitation. For example, an 8am start to a "UA 001" EWR-SFO-NRT-SIN-DXB-LHR-EWR drives great utilization & yield opp'y, while operating subsonic on land, on authorities UA has/can get.
