As the world becomes increasingly reliant on access to 24/7 connectivity, resources and breakthroughs in energy, a global set of startups are focused on “above Earth” markets. Their goal: support civilization here, while charting new paths of discovery in space.

Born to meet the needs of these new sectors unfolding just above Earth, Starburst Accelerator, with its global hubs around the world, is working hand-in-hand with its cohort of NewSpace companies to help connect and scale their companies.

With a $200M fund focused on these markets, its cohorts have attracted millions in funding, while Starburst itself works closely with strategics to ensure exposure and education within aerospace innovation.

In its quest to educate the world on the needs of this vital new sector, Starburst events include and attract the most significant players today.

Starburst Accelerator has actively participated in significant industry events and garnered extensive media coverage through MC2’s strategic initiatives. MC2 also organized a press event at “Space Pitch Day”, a San Francisco-based Starburst event which headlined Elon Musk and strategic partner, the U.S. Air Force.

Driving thought leadership and mindshare for Starburst CEO, Francois Chopard, he has become the go-to on aerospace innovation for media around the world, appearing on television networks like Bloomberg and CNBC.

Chopard has headlined at conferences from Web Summit to UberElevate to The Economist’s The Future of Flight, and has been profiled in top-tier business, finance, technology, and trade publications, including Fast Company, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, TechCrunch and more.
