摘要

The recent boom in entrepreneurial space activity is fueling investor interest in the sector, but venture capitalists remain troubled by the number of entrepreneurs they meet who lack sound business plans, panelists said Nov. 10 at the NextSpace Investor Conference here sponsored by the law firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, investment banker Raymond James and SpaceNews. "There is certainly a lot more money chasing after deals," said Shahin Farshchi, partner at New York-based venture firm Lux Capital. "Is that an indicator that there are a lot of great space companies? Probably not, but that does pose a great opportunity for entrepreneurs with good ideas." Investor interest stems in part from the success of Skybox Imaging, which was acquired last year by Google for $500 million, and Planet Labs, the San Francisco-based Earth imaging company that has raised more than $183 million. In addition, the cost of establishing a space company is falling as entrepreneurs use miniature components developed for consumer products to design miniature spacecraft that can be launched for a fraction of the cost of their larger predecessors.
