The focus is on the industrialization of the space sector and hardware and software solutions in the areas of connectivity and data. <a href=\"\/en\/day\/alpine-space-ventures\/\">The VC<\/a> focuses primarily on investments in the European ecosystem, but also has companies in the United States and other non-European countries in mind. A concentrated portfolio of up to 15 selected startups will now receive initial investments of up to five million euros. The majority of the funds will thus be reserved for follow-on rounds. Five startups, including the Munich-based companies <a href=\"\/en\/day\/reflex-aerospace\/\">Reflex Aerospace<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/startups\/blackwave-gmbh\/\">Blackwave<\/a>, have already received funds from the fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team of the venture capital fund, founded in 2021, brings more than 50 years of experience in developing products and companies in the space industry. Founding partner Bulent Altan was part of SpaceX&#039;s leadership team from 2004 to 2017. There, he oversaw the development of avionics for Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and the Dragon capsule, as well as the development of the first Starlink satellites. Founding partner Joram Voelklein has been successfully investing in tech companies since 2015. With an angel investment together with Bulent Altan in <a href=\"\/en\/day\/isar-aerospace\/\">Isar Aerospace<\/a> He became one of the first funders of the European space technology ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alpine Space Ventures receives funding from EU and NATO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This expertise is complemented by Alpine Space Ventures&#039; investor base, which includes many prominent figures from the space industry\u2014including more than 20 early SpaceX employees. Other investors in the fund include the European Investment Fund (EIF), the NATO Innovation Fund (NIF), and several high-profile family offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bulent Altan<\/strong>, Founding Partner at Alpine Space Ventures, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&quot;We look forward to deploying the fund&#039;s capital and continuing to support the industry&#039;s best entrepreneurs. First and foremost, we invest in the best teams with a strong understanding of the market, who put the customer first and rapidly iterate technical solutions to develop the best possible commercial solution.&quot;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joram Voelklein<\/strong>, Founding Partner of Alpine Space Ventures, adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&quot;Today is a great day for the ecosystem and beyond, as we are allocating a significant volume of smart money to fund space-based solutions globally and across industries.
