YPOG has advised key investor Molten Ventures as well as, with a separate team, existing investor Porsche SE on the EUR 270 million Series D financing round of Isar Aerospace. In addition to new investors such as Molten Ventures and Island Green Capital, existing investors including HV Capital, Lakestar, UVC Partners and KfW Capital also participated in the round.
Isar Aerospace aims to provide sovereign spaceflight capacities for Europe, NATO and allied states. With the current financing, the company is strengthening its position in a technology sector that is of strategic importance for Europe.
The proceeds from the financing round will be used to drive the global scaling of the business and to ramp up serial production of the Spectrum launch vehicle. In doing so, Isar Aerospace intends to further expand its operational capabilities and lay the foundation for continued growth.
“Molten Ventures and YPOG have enjoyed a long-standing and trusted collaboration across multiple financing rounds and portfolio companies,” says Dr Adrian Haase. “It is very encouraging to see Molten Ventures further expand its role as a growth-focused investment platform, and we are pleased to support them time and again in strategically important transactions.”
A separate YPOG team also advised Porsche SE on this financing round, having previously supported Porsche SE in connection with Isar Aerospace’s EUR 155 million Series C round in 2023 and the EUR 65 million extension in 2024.
“We are pleased to have once again supported Porsche SE in this financing of Isar Aerospace and to continue our long-standing cooperation,” says Dr Emma Peters.
