Financing the Final Frontier

Date: December 2, 2025, 9:00am – 12:30pm

Private capital has poured into the space industry at record levels over the past five years, fueling rapid growth and momentum— but also exposing growing pains as companies and investors interpret government demand signals. OSC’s Financing the Final Frontier event examined how a more strategic and targeted approach to investment can accelerate commercialization, strengthen U.S. space capabilities, and deliver sustainable returns.

The event convened investors, founders, and government leaders to distill lessons from the first wave of space capital and shape the next phase of the space economy.
