CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. Airbus Ventures is one of the most prolific investors in the space sector. Airbus Ventures maintains an "air gap" between itself and its eponymous corporation, according to Lewis Pinault, space-focused partner at the firm. While the latest data indicates the sector is stabilizing in terms of investment, Pinault noted that there is still "pressure on valuations." According to PitchBook, as many as 100 space companies have taken investment from CVCs, including from the venture arms of Lockheed Martin , Toyota , Raytheon , Honeywell and Boeing .

Spain's startup scene has evaded some of the collapse in VC funding that has rocked Europe in 2023. Smaller check sizes and a lack of "ego" has somewhat protected the ecosystem, investors say. Smaller valuations, check sizes, and a distinct lack of ego helped Spain's startup scene evade some of the shocking collapse in venture capital funding that has rocked Europe so far this year. Smaller rounds give Spain's startups an edge in the downturnWhat correction was felt was eased by the fact there is less "ego" in Spain's ecosystem, according to Max Bray, an investor at early-stage firm K Fund. As well as the birth of local growth funds, investors see corporations playing a role in closing the funding gap.

☆ There's a big venture capital funding downturn — except for this one set of investors
  + stars: | 2023-06-28 | by ( Riddhi Kanetkar | Tasmin Lockwood | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Venture capital funding into startups has drastically slowed. Corporate venture capital grew in 2022 and looks to grow again in 2023, bucking the broader downturn. Continuing a pullback in funding activity in 2022, venture capital into European startups fell by 32.1% in Q1 of 2023, per Pitchbook data. Faced with the prospect of raising down rounds at slashed valuations, startups are turning to an alternative mode of funding — corporate venture capitalists. A corporate venture capital firm, or CVC, is the investing arm of a specific business.
