Investment Thesis

Final Frontier believes Europe must reclaim its position as a global leader in space and defence to maintain strategic autonomy and protect democracy. Founded in response to Europe’s changing security landscape following the Ukraine conflict, the firm is driven by the conviction that ‘the most ethical thing right now is to invest in technology that can protect democracy.’ They argue that Europe has traded ambition for comfort and innovation for regulation, and must reverse this decline by backing visionary founders building critical space and defence technologies.
