摘要

Space startups have been hit hard during the coronavirus pandemic as venture capital has retreated. Matthew Kuta, president and chief operating officer of Voyager Space Holdings, says the crisis has laid bare a fundamental mismatch between venture investors focused on making quick profits and what space companies need to be successful, which is a long-term commitment.Denver-based Voyager Space Holdings, backed by angel investor Dylan Taylor, was founded in October. Kuta told SpaceNews that the company is poised to increase investments in the space sector. So far it has acquired the space robotics company Altius Space Machines, and there are multiple deals in the works.
