@CannyFuturist @BellikOzan @AlbaOrbital We had a few competitors but they have largely thrown in the towel at this point. Rocketlab are more a supplier, we've done 2 successful missions with them, alongside 6 with SpaceX. I hope UK gov supports us to, but we will make it happen regardless.

@CannyFuturist @BellikOzan @TheTomDune @AlbaOrbital @stoke_space @TheRTest @Tim_X94 I certainly wouldn't want to be complacent, but I think we get a lot done with not a lot and our track record speaks for itself. We have launched more satellites than Brazil has.

@BellikOzan @CannyFuturist @AlbaOrbital @stoke_space @TheRTest @Tim_X94 @PQConference23 We dont really do public projections tbh, other than obviously you can see we've went from no launches in 2018 to now launching flight 9 next month, we keep launching what the market demands of us, which so far is 48 of the 91 PocketQubes ever launched. PQ demand is growing

@CannyFuturist @BellikOzan @TheTomDune @AlbaOrbital @stoke_space @TheRTest @Tim_X94 Re raising, we have revenue and were bootstrapped/profitable pre YC, so we take terms we like and pass if we don't
