Raue has advised July Fund on its investment in The Exploration Company’s US$450 million Series C financing round, the largest Series C financing raised by a European space company. July Fund had already invested in the company and further increased its stake as part of the financing round.
Andreas Nelle and Hinnerk Clausen advised July Fund on the transaction.
The financing marks an important milestone for The Exploration Company and its innovative, distinctly European approach to space transportation. By developing open, scalable and reusable spacecraft infrastructure, the company is pursuing a new model for Europe’s role in the global space economy.
Congratulations to The Exploration Company and July Fund on this landmark transaction.
