The future of space demands a new approach to insurance.
Founder & CEO Yuk Chi Chan tells @axios there's a "need to modernize the way that insurance is done in space, so that we can modernize the way that finance and capital can participate in space."

Huge news!
We're joining forces with @ProjectOmegaHQ to explore how radioactive isotopes could keep satellites in orbit longer, insure billions in space assets, and prevent costly losses in space.
@axios' @TomNovelly has the latest.

Europe’s founders need a European standard to compete globally from day one.
Europe’s leaders committed to delivering one. But their teams are negotiating away the very things that make it one.
There is still time to change course if Europe's Heads of State step in now.
Last weekend in Bucharest, we partnered up with @Eurodefensetech , @EYnews, and @how_to_web to bring out the first ever European Defense Tech Hackathon in Romania. Violeta, Adriana, and Cristina were on-site, with Violeta on jury duty for the pitches on Sunday.
Congratulations for the winners:
• 1st Place: Birdeater – Developed an innovative 40mm projectile concept designed to counter FPV (First Person View) drones.
• 2nd Place: Normpal – Built engineering intelligence software focused on accelerating engineering workflows and decision-making (also received an honorable mention for commercial viability).
• 3rd Place: @formidablebldrs

From AI doom-ism to AI excitement, @bogdaniordache opened the @how_to_web’s second day with a question for Dragoș @dStanca (Ethical Media Alliance) and @radumagdin (Global Analyst & Strategist): “Why do we need to pace AI development? And is that even possible?!”
Last week, we were happy to attend and support the Investors Summit from @how_to_web’s Day 0, the flagship event bringing together investors from across the region for a day.
Another @how_to_web, another Founders Breakfast official side event. @threeVC joined us fourth year in a row on Oct. 6 to kick off the startups side events alongside Inovo. Thank you for doing this together!
🍳Founders and fellow investors, see you again next year!

“Why do we need to pace AI development? And is that even possible?” @bogdaniordache tried to find out the answer to these questions with Dragoș Stanca (Ethical Media Alliance) and Radu Magdin (Smartlink Communications).
Milana will join the Spotlight startup competition by @how_to_web as a jury member. Alexandru will join the Spotlight competition as well, as a mentor.

CA-based @charter_space_ is working to increase access to insurance products for companies developing new missions in space, and yesterday it announced a $5M seed round to accelerate its market traction.
The company launched its own insurance brokerage—The Charter Interplanetary Risk Corporation—earlier this year, and already the numbers are looking strong:
🛰️ CIRC has helped insure 50+ companies across the US space and defense ecosystem.
🤑 The company also has a backlog of more than $35M in gross written premiums.
Payload reporter @Douglas__Gorman dove into the details of what Charter plans to do with the new capital. Link below.

You insure your home. You insure your car. As America expands into space, protecting our growing space economy is just as important.
That's where Charter Space comes in, helping manage risk so innovation can keep reaching new heights.
