We signed our first Launch Services Agreement (LSA) today and are now manifested for Oct 2025. With 13 months until our launch window opens, we haven't yet begun to design our ESPA class satellite. We haven’t purchased or placed a deposit on a single sub-system. We don't even know the SWaP of the payloads yet. Yes, this is a payload tailored, custom ESPA LEO bus & satellite/SV. Stay tuned, we're glad to have you with us on this journey of discovery and innovation. As always, shout out to the believers.

This Wednesday, VetsinTech hosted a transformative event at Hulu's headquarters in Santa Monica, bringing together veterans and industry leaders from AI, media, and defense sectors. The gathering explored the intersection of advanced technologies, with a particular focus on AI and its impact across various industries. Special thanks to Ben W. and Aimee Vaughan (The Walt Disney Company) for their help in organizing this event. The event featured two insightful panels. The first examined AI's role in Media and Entertainment, with industry experts discussing the ongoing digital transformation in these sectors. The second panel, featuring representatives from JPL, United States Space Force, and Proteus Space, Inc. Space, delved into AI applications in Space and Defense, highlighting the critical importance of these technologies for national security and space exploration. We thank all attendees and our sponsors, Wells Fargo and Venable LLP, for their support. The discussions underscored the vital contributions veterans and military spouses make to the tech industry, particularly in artificial intelligence, and strengthened the connections between major technological and media hubs. The third event in our 'Vets in AI' series follows previously successful gatherings in San Francisco and Washington DC. It marks another step forward in our mission to support veterans in high-tech careers and entrepreneurship, highlighting the contributions veterans and military spouses can make in the area of AI. Through initiatives like these, we aim to foster a deep integration of AI skills in our veteran and military spouse community, empowering them to lead and innovate in this rapidly evolving field.

Wow! What an incredible experience at the J.P. Morgan VetVC Summit in NYC! I was honored to participate for the second year and join my fellow Veteran Fund partners, Mike Sherbakov and Jen Pilcher, as we connected with veteran VCs and founders from around the globe. 🌍 Highlights included a Fireside Chat with Jamie Dimon and Moonshots Capital GP, Kelly Perdew. Insightful sessions on Emerging Tech Readiness featuring Liz Young McNally from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Navy CTO Justin Fanelli, and Jason Rathje from the Office of Strategic Capital. We also had enriching discussions on the Macroeconomic Outlook, AI and Innovation, Banking the Innovation Economy, plus first-hand insights from successful veterans in the founder ecosystem. I found the Small Business Investment Company fascinating. A special shoutout to Joshua Weed, former Air Force FM officer, now thriving at Veteran Ventures Capital—CONGRATS to you and Derren Burrell on your impressive portfolio companies! 🎉 Craig Cummings -- You rock! Thanks to Moonshots Capital and Vets In Tech for an unforgettable dinner that brought us closer. Ikram Mansori and Katherine Webster--I’m a big fan of your support for veteran entrepreneurs and spouses. 👏 Barbara Van Dahlen, Ph.D., and Michael Akinyele from Webelife are building something truly special, and I look forward to collaborating with you. 🤝 As we had a fantastic meeting with The Veteran Fund and Founders Institute partners and sponsors, Daniel Sylvester and Dan Sennott from Holland & Knight LLP, we heard great pitches from David Kervin with Proteus Space, Inc., and Jason Dunn from Outpost! Lastly, a huge thank you to J.P. Morgan for hosting this impactful event for the third year. Your efforts are crucial in driving the innovation and change needed to bolster national security in a globally competitive environment—and our veterans are key players in this mission! Looking forward to next year! ✨ #VeteranVC #VetVC #EmergingTech #Innovation #NationalSecurity #VeteranEntrepreneurs #AI #DefenseInnovation #StartupEcosystem #Networking #VetsInTech #VeteranFund #Entrepreneurship

Kelly Perdew and I have partnered very closely with JPMorganChase over the last 3 years in supporting the military veteran entrepreneur and venture capital community. In recognition of our strong partnership, JPMC selected us to fireside J.P. Morgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon last week during the VetVC Summit at the JPMC New York HQs. The event exceeded our wildest expectations. Kelly did a fantastic job in firesiding Jamie, clearly one of the best performing business leaders of our time. Their conversation called out the importance of military veteran investors and entrepreneurs in the dual-use ecosystem and the broader economy. Jamie expressed genuine support and admiration for our community (as evidenced by “the salute” photo!), and he left us inspired and motivated. In addition to JPMC, we partnered with our good friends at VetsinTech—Katherine Webster, Ikram Mansori, and Oliver Muoto—to host a dinner celebrating this awesome community. Special thanks to those friends, investors, and supporters who joined us. In addition to Kelly’s fireside with Jamie, we heard excellent remarks from the Honorable Isabel Guzman and Bailey DeVries from the U.S. Small Business Administration, Jason Rathje from the Office of Strategic Capital, Liz Young McNally from Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Justin Fanelli from the US Navy, Brandon Tseng from Shield Capital, and many others. We were also happy and fortunate to host (and show off!) Moonshots Capital portfolio company leaders Jason Dunn of Outpost, David Kervin of Proteus Space, Inc., and John Myers of Gretel.ai. Big thank you to the entire team at JPMC for the opportunity you afforded us and for hosting a first class event—Jamie Dimon, Mark Elliott, Matthew Jeppson, Hayden Meredith, Jeff Balka, Joshua Pacheco, Jay Siembieda, Ashley Hawkes, Alex McKindra, Silvia Kleinle, and Jamie Kramer. We look forward to the next event together! #JPMC #JamieDimon #entrepreneurs #veterans #veteranentrepreneurs #nationalsecurity #dualuse #defense #innovation Sylvester Steele, Robbie Deeks, Joshua Awad, Carolyn Belveal, Matthew W., Brannan Johnston
