Seattle-area venture capital firm Fuse wants to light a spark for entrepreneurs focusing on the final frontier, and it’s willing to invest a million dollars to turn a good idea into a great startup.
The Fuse Space Program will focus on the Seattle space ecosystem in particular, said Brendan Wales, founding partner at the Bellevue, Wash.-based firm.
“There’s going to be a huge funnel of people spinning out of Blue Origin and Starlink and SpaceX and Boeing that are going to go build these next-generation companies, and we want to be there for them,” Wales told me. “We want people to know that we’re there to back them at Day Zero.”
