Bob Long, CEO for StepStone Private Wealth, delves into the evolution of capital markets and their impact on the aerospace industry, particularly focusing on the transformation in funding structures that have enabled companies like SpaceX to thrive. He begins by highlighting how, twenty years ago, building a business around rocket ships would have been unimaginable without access to public markets. Yet today, SpaceX, a leading force in space exploration, has succeeded without going public.
Bob explains the unprecedented shift in capital availability and the growth of specialized private equity groups, which now focus on niche sectors like aerospace and defense. This new specialization—encompassing stage, sector, and geographic focus—has created a more efficient, supportive market for ambitious entrepreneurs looking to innovate in highly capital-intensive fields.
Learn how today’s capital landscape empowers groundbreaking companies to access billions in private funding, allowing them to pursue ambitious goals without traditional IPOs. This talk is a must-watch for entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone interested in the financial structures driving modern space exploration.
