NewSpace Networks plans to generate approximately $200M and intends to use the funds to develop or invest in software-based aerospace technology platforms.
The company said Tuesday it aims to drive the transformation of space industry's focus from hardware to software-defined processes via investment, acquisition and product development efforts.
According to NewSpace, it will work with advisory firm GlobalView Strategic Advisors to identify a business strategy as well as capital raising and merger-and-acquisition opportunities.
