Starlab and Seven Grand Managers Announce Strategic Investment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing investments in Starlab signal strong market confidence in the station\u2019s commercial path<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nStarlab Space LLC and Seven Grand Managers, LLC, a Bronxville, NY-based asset management firm, announced Seven Grand\u2019s investment in Starlab. This reflects a growing confidence in Starlab as the next-generation commercial space station and a cornerstone of the post-ISS low-Earth orbit economy.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis investment highlights a broader shift in the space economy,\u201d said Marshall Smith, CEO, Starlab. \u201cCapital is flowing toward platforms that demonstrate operational credibility and durable economics. Starlab is not an experimental concept, but a commercially grounded platform built for long-term operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWith more than $1 billion assets under management, Seven Grand\u2019s investment adds to a broadening base of institutional capital backing Starlab and underscores investor conviction that commercial space infrastructure has reached a new stage of maturity. The investment reinforces confidence not only in Starlab\u2019s technical progress, but in its commercial readiness, global partnerships and long-term demand from government, research and private-sector customers.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cStarlab is being built to be commercially viable from Day One,\u201d said Chris Fahy, founder and chief investment officer, Seven Grand. \u201cOur investment recognizes that commercial infrastructure in the post-ISS era is not speculative, but tangible, bankable and poised for growth. Starlab\u2019s world-class management team and strategic partners are unlocking the beginning of this enormous opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
