Andre’s experience in driving investment into OneWeb, Virgin Galactic and Virgin Orbits and supporting their growth is second to none. The next phase of growth is underway in the space domain and Seraphim Space is at the forefront of discovering and investing in the brightest minds and smartest ideas which will provide trailblazing, high value solutions that disrupt, transform and improve life as we know it”. Andre Ronsoehr, Investment Director of Seraphim Space, said: “I am absolutely delighted to join and support the team at Seraphim Space, its investors and portfolio companies. As the leading global Space Tech investor with an outstanding track record and following their successful fundraising Seraphim Space is the right place at the right time for me. I can’t wait to continue working in the sector I am deeply passionate about and am very much looking forward to identifying new investments and helping these companies to become future champions with a view to positively transform the world and impact many people’s daily lives.” Related Posts Seraphim Space Investment Trust’s $12.5m investment in Astroscale UNCATEGORISED Seraphim Space Investment Trust plc (LSE: SSIT), the world's first listed fund focused on SpaceTech, announces that it… Seraphim Space leads HawkEye 360 $145m Series D with $25m investment UNCATEGORISED Seraphim Space Investment Trust plc (LSE: SSIT), the world's first listed fund focused on SpaceTech, announces that it… British Satellite scale-up raises £15m in oversubscribed Series A funding UNCATEGORISED The fundraising is Satellite Vu’s second successful raise in the last six months, raising a total… Join our newsletter Sign up to receive our latest news.
