New Frontier Aerospace: Launch Capital

Company

New Frontier Aerospace (NFA) is revolutionizing space transportation with its carbon-negative hypersonic technology. Founded by veterans from Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, and NASA, NFA develops reusable rocket engines for military and civilian applications, aiming to enable two-hour travel between any points on Earth.

Challenge

NFA faced a critical juncture during negotiations with international investors for a multi-tranche SAFE round. Their previous counselโ€™s slow response times threatened to derail the time-sensitive deal, potentially compromising their capital runway.

Solution

Our team rapidly stepped in to manage the complex international investment structure, completing due diligence and closing the first tranche within 48 hours. We carefully structured the multi-tranche agreement to protect NFAโ€™s interests while ensuring compliance with international regulations. Through proactive management and clear communication channels, we guided the second tranche to a successful close, maintaining momentum throughout the entire process.

Impact

Our swift intervention and expertise in international transactions enabled NFA to secure essential growth capital without disrupting their development timeline. We reduced the legal closing timeline while preserving favorable terms through efficient negotiation. The framework we established also positioned NFA advantageously for future international capital raises, providing a clear pathway for continued growth and investment.

Any startup looking for expert legal advice should call Kyle. We needed a quick turn on a term sheet and SAFE & Westaway came through. Pricing was transparent and very reasonable. Would 100% recommend.
