Announcing the FUSE Space Program!

FUSE is excited to announce the FUSE Space Program, dedicating $1M or more in Pre-Seed funding to pioneering founders building the next generational businesses in space.

The financial and logistical barrier to orbit has never been lower. Falling launch costs have driven enormous growth in the number of active satellites in orbit... a Space Race 2.0. The underlying infrastructure to support this new space economy is being built as we speak.

The FUSE Space Program will provide founders with access to our proprietary network of 300+ LPs, mentorship with proven space founders, follow-on fundraising resources, and deep connections in the unrivalled Seattle Area space ecosystem, where an estimated 90%+ of US satellites launched in 2024 were designed and built.

As a part of this, we've compiled a market map of the Pacific Northwest space companies that make this region second-to-none. Companies like Blue Origin, Amazon Project Kuiper, SpaceX Starlink, etc. headquartered in the Seattle-area have created an ecosystem of phenomenal engineering talent, which is fuel for startups innovating across space-based applications and infrastructure of their own.

FUSE is proud to have already partnered with bleeding-edge space startup founders like Philip Johnston of Lumen Orbit and Nate Hamet of Quindar, and is excited to continue pouring fuel on the fire.
