Competition is Live!

About the Competition

When it comes to space, there are endless possibilities. However, when it comes to space start-ups, there isn’t always a bounty of money waiting to help them take their first step towards prototyping and beyond.

You can help a start-up have their first footprint on the moon moment today! In this crowdfunding competition, each start-up will walk away with money, but it is up to you how much.

By making a donation of $10 or more, you are automatically entered into a raffle to have a meeting with one of the start-up founders!

Donate today to vote for your favorite start-up today to help accelerate their growth!
