Apex Space

Apex Space is a Los Angeles based aerospace company founded in 2022 by Ian Cinnamon and Max Benassi that manufactures standardized, productized satellite buses rather than custom built spacecraft. The company operates a high rate manufacturing facility called Factory One in Los Angeles capable of producing more than 200 satellites a year at peak production, and by 2026 had raised funding rounds valuing the company at more than two billion dollars to scale production for proliferated satellite constellations.
