Rise of the Rest

For more than a decade, we’ve tracked how venture capital flows across the U.S. and how those flows influence where innovation takes hold. A central premise: local investors help spark and sustain startup ecosystems. So how is that dynamic showing up across the country?

Space has changed. There are more objects, more threats, more decisions than ever before. For years, the industry has focused on awareness: detecting, tracking, and understanding what is happening in orbit. That foundation still matters. But in today’s environment, awareness alone is no longer enough. The next era of the market is about turning sensor truth into coordinated, real-time action. That’s the shift Slingshot calls Space Operations Intelligence & Autonomy (SOIA): Sense → Fuse → Coordinate → Act Because the future of space operations isn’t just seeing more. It’s acting faster.

The next housing transaction for millions of Americans won't start with a listing—it'll start with a loss. Our CEO and co-founder @codybarbo wrote about this in @HousingWire today, and the data behind it is hard to ignore: 🏡44% of future heirs expect real estate to be part of their inheritance. 🔑More than 70% will face an immediate decision about what to do with it. And yet, the friction that follows—title issues, missing documents, unexpected costs—is almost entirely preventable. The professionals already in the room at the moment of purchase have a real opportunity to change that. Most just haven't thought of it that way yet.

This stretch of the year took us from policy corridors & U.S. history hubs to global tech stages & industrial markets in transition. See where we went, who we met, and what we saw on the ground this fall and winter. 🖊️ 🛣️ revolution.com/blog/dispatche…

Three vehicles, each one larger and more capable than the last. Mk 0 proved the design-build-test approach, Mk 1 flew, and Mk 2.1 expands the flight envelope even further. When we talk about iterative development, we actually mean it. We’ve already made three iterations in three years — and somehow our team moves even faster with each build.
