Catalysing Space Innovation: Investment Prospects with Fusion’s Second Cohort
The space sector is rapidly growing and new ventures are pushing boundaries by presenting compelling investment opportunities. With Fusion Connect with Capital’s second cohort about to launch, a new opportunity opens for investors who want to partner with some of the most promising players in the sector.
Why Fusion Connect with Capital?
Fusion Connect with Capital is a high-focus investment completion programme tailored for the space industry. Delivered directly by experienced early-stage fund managers, angel group leaders, and investors, Fusion is committed to helping space-focused ventures complete investment. The programme is designed to connect investors with startups prepared for market entry, while honing each participant’s pitch, financial strategy, and investor appeal.
Moreover, with a team focused on the commercial aspects of space, Fusion stands out for its sector-specific expertise and targeted support. The programme’s ventures undergo rigorous vetting and development, designed to maximise their market potential.
What to Anticipate from Fusion’s Second Cohort
The second cohort brings a carefully selected group of ventures, each with commercial proof of concept and a clear path to market. It presents a structured programme designed to elevate ventures to investment completion through three key stages:
Boot Camp: Kicking off with an intensive two-day boot camp, this stage immerses founders in critical aspects of investment preparation. Through targeted sessions, founders gain insights into establishing credibility, understanding investor priorities, perfecting their pitch, and navigating essential topics such as valuation, raise amount, term sheets, and legal frameworks. This stage is built for networking and learning, providing a solid foundation as ventures enter the next phase.
Fortnightly 1:1 Coaching with an Investment Expert: The programme’s core lies in continuous, hands-on mentorship. Each founder receives personalised coaching, serving as a sounding board for strategic decisions, and offering accountability and support. In addition to investment coaching, ventures benefit from 1:1 legal check-ins to ensure compliance and preparedness. Pitch practice sessions with feedback from Investment Experts refine each venture’s presentation, making it as compelling and investment-ready as possible.
Demo Day (4th March 2025): Concluding the programme is Demo Day, a virtual event where investors engage directly with each venture. This showcase marks a significant milestone for the cohort, providing investors with an in-depth look at their progress, pitch, and potential.
For investors, the structure ensures that each venture in the cohort is strategically prepared and commercially viable, representing a rare chance to discover high-potential opportunities in the space industry.
Impact of the First Cohort
The inaugural cohort of Fusion Connect with Capital has already made a significant mark, with alumni achieving impressive milestones. For instance, Marble secured $590,000 to support their long-term contract and joined the GovBridge General Cohort, strengthening their presence in the government sector.
Meanwhile, Third Planet Orbital partnered with Exotopic for the "Give Me Some Space" satellite mission, demonstrating the collaborative power of Fusion alumni in advancing satellite technology. These accomplishments reflect the ongoing growth and impact of Fusion’s ventures in the evolving space industry.
These are just a few highlights across our alumni network. With each venture continuing to push boundaries and reach new heights, the momentum is clear. As we look ahead to the second cohort, expectations are even higher, with even more game-changing innovations from the next wave of space ventures.
