Space Startup Investing Rocketed to New Highs in 2021: Bryce

Investors put more than $15 billion into startup space companies in 2021, nearly doubling the $7.7 billion record set in 2020, BryceTech said Wednesday. Last year also had a record number of startup space deals -- 241, up 48% year over year -- and recipients -- 212, up 46%. Average deal size was $64 million, up 35%, it said. The availability of future private funding will depend on factors including interest rates, it said.
