Briefings
Seraphim Space launched the Seraphim Academy, a new early-stage space startup program offering up to a year of support and $150,000 investment per company. Unlike its predecessor, the accelerator, the academy operates on a rolling admissions basis and provides fresh funds, mentorship, and access to Space Florida's partnership network. The program aims to replace the cohort model with a continuous pipeline, targeting up to 15 companies annually over the next decade. Seraphim has invested in 150+ companies since 2018, including 11 unicorns and six IPOs, and the academy is positioned to support companies scaling beyond six figures.
