Space Capital's Chad Anderson and Justus Kilian are going to walk through the results published in our Q2 2025 Space Investment Quarterly.  Capital is flowing again \u2013 Q2 funding jumped to $7.8B across 113 rounds, despite the VIX flirting with pandemic\u2011era highs. Infrastructure roars back \u2013 Hardware wins the quarter with $3.2B raised, a five\u2011quarter high driven by satellite manufacturing and in\u2011space logistics. Defense is rewriting the map \u2013 Record $3.8B into GEOINT applications shows governments are voting with their wallets while budget cuts loom elsewhere. IPO window creaks open \u2013 Early pops look great on day one; history says most will retrace. We explain who could beat the odds and why.  The Q2\u202f2025 Space\u202fIQ distills the noise into clear takeaways and actionable data for investors, operators, and policymakers. &amp;nbsp;  Download the Q2 2025 Space Investment Quarterly Buy The Space Economy wherever you buy books Watch the Space IQ playlist on  YouTube  ","author_name":"Space Capital Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.spacecapital.com\/insights#insights-podcasts","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/37514600\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/de804a\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/37514600"}
