We are excited to hear the #Trump administration is putting together a Sovereign Wealth Fund to deliver value to the taxpayer and building upon our nation's innate advantage in capital markets to scale an idea to IPO.

An American Sovereign Wealth Fund would be a giant leap for mission-critical American innovation. We are one of the few developed nations without a national-level capital fund. On the state level, from the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation to the impactful VIPC | Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation have demonstrated that investing in the public interest is not only a lucrative return for the tax-payer but can catalyze urgently needed innovation for the warfighter, first-responder, teacher, to police officer. We are in a cold economic war, and maintaining our technological advantage is paramount; #DeepSeek last week was a good reminder of this. Hopefully, this can be something all of us, regardless of party, can rally around. https://lnkd.in/eJyxw597

One of the biggest hurdles any company has to overcome in critical industries is navigating government procurement. Hazel started by August Sun Chen, Elton Lossner is taking that a step further by using AI to make the procurement process on the government end far less cumbersome. Pioneer1890 couldn't be prouder and more excited to be an investor and supporter as they celebrate the 1st year of their transformation journey. https://lnkd.in/eiVU5u5R

Our partner, Tanveer I. Kathawalla, warned of a 21st Century Sputnik Moment with China in the National Security Institute (NSI)'s 2025 Predictions Issue. (See below for the feature) In 2017, China achieved a groundbreaking technological milestone with the launch of the Micius satellite, which demonstrated the world’s first instance of space-to-ground quantum communication. The laws of physics make a quantum communication network impossible to hack, allowing its users to communicate securely at an unimaginable level. Even with our advanced national security capabilities, countering such attacks would be impossible. Photon-based quantum keys ensure that any unauthorized interception attempt immediately destroys the message. Since we lack this capability, adversaries could orchestrate untraceable and undetectable gray zone warfare and operate without fear of reprisals. This could include: - Distort financial markets through coordinated short selling. - Disrupt all bank transfers by turning off the SWIFT network - Turn off cell networks and create rolling blackouts - Flood the airwaves with propaganda that plays into conspiracy theories that our government may be behind these attacks. We have yet to match this seven-year-old achievement, and China has continued to extend its almost decade-long lead in quantum communication. China will likely achieve another quantum breakthrough in 2025: the world’s first multi-satellite quantum communication network. This groundbreaking advancement would establish a continuous, unhackable, and undetectable global communication network, providing an unparalleled and unmatched security advantage on the world stage. https://lnkd.in/euKEHi95

The latest takeaways from Tanveer I. Kathawalla on last month's Global Space Summit hosted by Deutsche Bank.
Venture Buyout & Growth Executive | Leading M&A & Scaling to Transform Critical Industries | Milken YLC
Last month, I had the privilege of attending Deutsche Bank's Global Space Summit, expertly led by Vaibhav Lohiya and his dynamic team. Here are my key takeaways from this insightful event: #SpaceTech Innovation: Companies like HawkEye 360 and True Anomaly are at the forefront of delivering "plug-and-play" solutions tailored for the United States Department of Defense. Their demonstration of the firm-fixed-price model adds another clear contrast with the inefficiencies of the traditional cost-plus model. The Space Development Agency, led by Derek Tournear, is accelerating innovation and fostering a competitive space ecosystem. He and his team are submitting RFPs for their third set of satellites even though the first set launched in September. Forward-thinking leadership like this creates opportunities for innovative satellite firms still advancing their R&D to demonstrate a clear demand signal. SpaceX continues to dominate the launch sector. Still, emerging players like Firefly Aerospace and Stoke Space are driving advancements in reusable technologies and high-performance solutions, setting the stage for a more diverse and competitive launch market in the years ahead. #AI-Driven Geospatial Intelligence is here! BlackSky, Planet, and Spire are harnessing end-to-end AI to expand applications well beyond the often-cited weather and intelligence use cases, growing the market for space data considerably. "To the Moon," With rising geopolitical tensions, a lunar-based economy is emerging. Companies like Intuitive Machines are already laying the groundwork for lunar infrastructure, making operations on the moon as accessible as Low Earth Orbit today. The future is bright. With the potential for increased space budgets and a new administration on the horizon, the industry is poised for robust M&A activity. This wave of consolidation and growth will not only mature the sector with scale but also deliver the returns that Limited Partners have been expecting. Also, let's not forget SpaceX's latest valuation, which makes it the world's most valuable private company. This underscores the burgeoning value of commercial space for years to come.

This a clear example of #GrayZone economic warfare, but foreign adversarial subversion and manipulation are no match when they face the strong leadership of the Skydio team!
Earlier today I sent this note to our customers. Because this is such a critical topic for the drone industry and for our national security, I'm sharing it here publicly as well.
