Investor relations

Backing a plasma propulsion technology company.

JivaJet is building defensible plasma propulsion technology for the lowest orbital frontier — LEO, VLEO, and Ultra-VLEO.

Current round: $7.0M Seed · $2.0M committed · $5.0M remaining

Investment thesis

One scientific foundation. Multiple orbital markets.

Our model is built around shared plasma expertise, differentiated intellectual property, and application-specific product development.

Space: Air-breathing and metal-propellant propulsion for VLEO and Ultra-VLEO
Defense: Persistent, maneuverable VLEO for national-security missions
Approach: Research-led, partnership-oriented commercialization

Market opportunity

A frontier technology category being funded now.

Government and allied programs are actively funding VLEO and Ultra-VLEO propulsion — validating the category JivaJet is built for.

DARPA Otter Phase 2: $44M — frontier VLEO propulsion program
VLEO-DEF EDA: €15.65M — European Defence Agency VLEO program
Viridian (USA): $18.5M — DOD SBIRs + Seed, targeting 200–300 km
NewOrbit (UK): $5M Series A — targeting 150–300 km

Path to revenue

Propulsion opens a multi-billion dollar services layer.

HyABPT-enabled persistence unlocks addressable markets across network services, defense ISR, direct-to-device, IoT/LPWAN, earth observation, and bus/ops — a $178M management-case revenue path from 2028–2033, scaling toward a $500M+ annual run-rate by the mid-2030s at modest served-market capture.

Platform & mission access

JivaJet bus, hosted payloads, deployment, and mission operations.

Defense ISR & tracking

EO/RF/IR mission blocks, hypersonic custody, and tactical-edge augmentation.

Connectivity services

Regional network capacity, direct-to-device, IoT/LPWAN, and tactical links.

Use of funds

$7M seed closes the next proof gates.

Flight, integration & launch: 42% · $2.94M — reference mission, JivaJet bus, platform ops, range/launch
Engineering & propulsion hardware: 35% · $2.45M — architecture, PPU, thrusters, materials, testing, execution
Contingency & strategic reserve: 15% · $1.05M — schedule, redesign, supplier and launch-margin protection
Partnerships, IP & export: 8% · $0.56M — research partners, regulatory, safety, and export controls

Traction · 2026

Technical

Architecture gate closure at 90%; results published in AST, Science Advances, Global Challenges, and NPJ Microgravity.

Partners & customers

JJ Drive MOU signed with 3 potential customers; GWU SRA license and a drag-reducing coating partnership with CASA Space; active traction with defense primes and DOD agencies.

Commercial & IP

3 new provisional IP filings; 5+ RFI/SBIR/STTR submissions; MINOS DARPA program participant developing drag-reduction strategies.
