Wilbe is a platform and venture fund for scientists and engineers building companies from day one. We are opening Wilbe x SpaceTech, online September 4 to 11, for SpaceTech scientists and engineers exploring big company ideas from their research or technical work. I wanted to make sure people in your department have the chance to apply while this focused week is live.

Build Weeks are 7-day, online cohorts where scientists and engineers go from idea to investment readiness, with structure, sharp feedback and direct access to the Wilbe team through office hours. Participants may be considered for a first-check investment and a place on the next in-person founder residency in San Francisco.

This week is for master's students, PhDs, postdocs, PIs, research staff and other technical researchers working on spacecraft systems, propulsion, communications, sensing, robotics, autonomy, space materials, launch and testing, or other enabling space technologies.

No fee. No equity required to participate. No strings - we partner where there's strong mutual fit, and only if you want us to. Founded in 2021, Wilbe has built and invested in generational companies from Proxima Fusion to Apoha on day zero, with a combined portfolio value of $3.25B to date.
