It is not every day that a national news host admits to having "Business Envy" for what you are building.This week, I joined David Brancaccio on NPR’s Marketplace Morning Report. We talked about why bluShift is making waves in the aerospace industry and it comes down to a simple reality: the Pentagon has a massive supply chain problem and we have the engine to fix it.The Highlights: The Power: David mentioned he is an amateur rocketeer, but even he was impressed by our MAREVL engine. It delivers solid rocket motor power at 25% the cost and 100% more flight flexibility with throttling.. The Mission: We are moving beyond the research phase. We are positioning bluShift to replace legacy solid rocket motors in the hypersonic and defense sectors. The "Maine" Advantage: We discussed our non-toxic fuel. It is safe enough to launch right here in Maine without risking the environment we love. This momentum is exactly what we need as we push toward the end of our Reg D round. As a reminder, your investment right now carries a major multiplier.Every dollar helps us trigger a $2M non-dilutive loan from the Maine Technology Institute. That is a 1:1 match to help us scale our manufacturing in Brunswick.Listen to the full segment hereThank you for being part of the team!Sascha Deri, CEO + Founder
