Silicon Valley & The U.S. Government: Ursa Major and Transforming the Propulsion Industry

Ursa Major’s CEO Dan Jablonsky is interviewed by Brave Capital’s Joe Addiego. Jablonsky discusses how the company is addressing critical gaps in national propulsion capabilities across every sector of aerospace—from space launch to hypersonic applications. He explains why propulsion is essential for strategic deterrence, how Ursa Major achieves cost advantages through agile manufacturing, and the importance of solving real customer problems rather than simply pushing technology. —— This session is part of the “Silicon Valley & The U.S. Government” speaker series co-led by Ernestine Fu Mak, Steve Blank, Joe Felter, Eric Volmar, and Steve Bowsher.
