Rail guns for space, 3DP and solid-fuel rockets, hydrogen defense, nuclear power, AI-powered mission ops, peppered with an automated body shop Those are the types of founders that gather and brainstorm over a sunset dinner in LA’s South Bay!

The number of founders who pitch me asking for equity who haven't considered debt too is astounding! Have you experienced this too? Our industry expert on the podcast this week is Nick Rankin. Nick works in partnership with VC and Debt Equity providers to provide Equipment Financing as a lease. If any of you have portfolio companies planning on buying stuff, whether that's heavy equipment or laptops, they can procure and lease the equipment they need with Camber Road financing. A big thank you to both SVB and Camber Road for being partners to our founders and our show. It takes a village! Feel free to contact me or Earnest Sweat if you'd like to be connected directly.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at our recent milestone—Development Flight 2. This full-scale flight test successfully tested a multitude of key systems needed to safely launch the capsule to 100,000 ft (30,480 m) and bring it back in a controlled descent to ocean splashdown. The completion of this flight kicks off a series of further uncrewed test flights that will examine every possible corner case as well as test our redundancy systems to ensure the safest future operations as we progress toward crewed test flights and commercialization. Spaceship Neptune is poised to offer a transformative six-hour experience to the edge of space. Propelled by our SpaceBalloon™, it will carry Explorers at a gentle 12 mph (~19 kph) pace. Aboard, you will find a comfortable and luxurious experience—complete with a Space Lounge, a proper restroom, and even a bar. Explorers can enjoy the life-changing experience with fellow passengers or share it with friends and family Earthside through the capsule’s Wi-Fi.
