The future of aviation isnโt just built in the skyโitโs built by the bold risk-takers on the ground. From the earliest days of flight, visionary funders have shaped aviation history.

He bet on their chemistry, their discipline, and their ability to pull off the impossible. ๐ That risk changed history. Flight venture capitalists todayโwhether individuals, businesses, or foundationsโare making those same bets on the next generation of pilots, engineers, and aviation pioneers.
