The future of aviation isn’t just built in the sky—it’s built by the bold risk-takers on the ground. From the earliest days of flight, visionary funders have shaped aviation history. Frank Mahoney, a shrewd businessman, saw something no one else did—an unproven air mail pilot, Charles Lindbergh, and an unknown engineer, Donald A. Hall, working together on a wild idea. He bet on their chemistry, their discipline, and their ability to pull off the impossible. 🚀 That risk changed history. Flight venture capitalists today—whether individuals, businesses, or foundations—are making those same bets on the next generation of pilots, engineers, and aviation pioneers. Who Are Today’s Flight Funders? 🔹 Business leaders who see aviation as a future worth investing in 🔹 Entrepreneurs in flight, aerospace, and STEM who want to give back 🔹 Passionate aviation enthusiasts who know that one bold decision can change everything 📢 If you had been in Frank Mahoney’s shoes, would you have taken the risk?
