Industry Partners
Your Next Leader Needs to Speak Both Languages. We Build Them.
Your next program manager needs to speak engineering, business, science, and policy. No single hire comes with all four. We build that capability -- inside your organization -- through embedded Industry Fellows, real capstone engagements, and direct access to a cross-disciplinary space talent pipeline that integrates engineering, business, policy, and science in every cohort.
Founding Partner slots are limited -- apply early to secure your position.
The Industry Fellow Model
Embed Your Best People Alongside Our Best Students
Send your best engineer. They learn venture strategy and policy. Send your best strategist. They learn orbital mechanics and what it actually costs. Every breakthrough they have, they bring back to your organization.
Your best engineers learn business. Your business team learns engineering. Everyone learns space.
For Your Engineers
Business acumen, policy awareness, and cross-functional leadership skills that make them more effective technical leaders.
For Your Business Team
Technical literacy in space systems, engineering trade-offs, and science fundamentals that sharpen strategic decision-making.
For Your Organization
A shared language across departments, stronger internal collaboration, and professionals who can lead at every table.
