Earlybird-X partner Dr. Philipp Semmer says: "We are excited to partner with Jonathan, Claudio and the entire Involve team in building the next generation of high-altitude balloon platforms. The team convinced us with their execution capabilities of gathering substantial initial traction with very little capital. Additionally, they were able to attract some of the leading heads in the space, such as Alastair Westgarth. Involve will define a new category of earth observation technology, and we are happy to be part of the journey, alongside CDP and TLI Space."
The cash will help it reach major technical milestones with its stratospheric balloon technology. Artificial intelligence can optimize control systems, increase flight time, and increase payload. In aerospace, the corporation aims to hire more people.
Polotto said, "Our next step should be somewhere near Houston, USA, "Here, for more than a month, I had the opportunity to develop contacts and do quite a bit of networking. This will be, very soon, our next step, thanks to our board member Alastair Westgarth and business developer Courtney Stadd, former Deputy Associate Administrator at NASA and ex-Director of Commercial Space at The White House."
