Seraphim Space Accelerator

Seraphim Space Accelerator is the UK's first dedicated accelerator programme for start-ups in the SpaceTech industry. Launched by Seraphim Space, the world's leading venture capital firm specialising exclusively in SpaceTech investment, Space Space Accelerator is backed by both the UK and European Space Agencies as well as by corporate partners such as Dentons, ESA. Airbus and NSSIF. Taking a "VC-mindset" approach to the accelerator concept, the founders of Seraphim Space Accelerator believe that investability should be a prerequisite for companies' participation in the programme, not the endgame. The Seraphim Space Accelerator value proposition is designed to attract the ‘best of breed‘ high growth technology companies that are best addressing the biggest challenges facing corporates and the wider SpaceTech industry, and to support them in achieving commercial scale by creating tangible outcomes beyond simply funding. Seraphim Space Accelerator is creating an ecosystem and community support network to ensure that participating start-ups are equipped to maintain their accelerated growth beyond the completion of the programme, providing mentoring from more established companies from the Seraphim Space portfolio, opportunities to work with invested corporate partners on proof of concepts and other technology integrations, and ongoing access to facilities and resources in locations around the world.
