We have an extensive technical network, especially in the Bay Area, and used it to connect effectively with exactly the right people. On a commissioned contract in 2025, a Commercial LEO Destination operator moving toward its first crewed flight needed its commercial layer built out: who flies, what surrounds them, and which partners come along.

We worked directly with the operator's VPs of Crew Sales and of Agency & Partnerships to build a credible pipeline of mission participants and the brand relationships that make a crewed flight commercially real.

The focus was developing design partnerships and non-space brand relationships — particularly across pharma and consumer brands — translating a crewed flight into propositions those partners could actually say yes to. Drawing on direct relationships with the people who make these calls, we closed a wearable-brand partnership in two weeks and structured a closed partnership on crew-wellness technology.

A working commercial pipeline, design and brand partnerships in development across pharma and consumer categories, and a wearable-brand partnership closed in two weeks. Specific figures are confidential under NDA.
