We're building in the lunar economy ourselves, which is exactly why we started this. We read every application and host every meetup.

RUN BY
Melange Space Technologies
Melange builds lunar penetrators — small probes dropped from orbit that survive the impact, bury themselves in the surface, and send back what's underneath it. Building the infrastructure for lunar life is the day job; this community is the room we wanted to be in while doing it.
Lunar Startup Community is operated by Melange, and it is free. Nothing here is a sales channel for them.
