Testimonials

""We entered Space Camp with a team and an idea, we left with a business. It was incredibly valuable to work with a team of professionals with so much knowledge and experience in our industry. They could understand our value proposition often even better than we could, and from this were instrumental in helping us learn how to communicate it to the market. £20 million in Series A funding by providing the team with the requisite knowledge and networking opportunities. Whether you’re an old dog or a spring chicken, Space Camp will refine your skills and acumen to make your innovation investible. Space Camp is the Top Gun for space start ups! ""

Anthony Baker

CEO | SatVu

""Space is hard hard, and the people in it are peerless specialists, but complexity is the enemy of the future. When we first pitched to Seraphim we wanted to boil the ocean on undiscovered worlds. The program and the amazing support of our cohort, gave us the confidence to simplify and deliver to a well executed problem with a motivated team and the backing of 10 years of community that seraphim holds peerlessly.""
