Invest in Space Infrastructure
Radiation is the binding constraint on every permanent system in orbit. We hold the patent-pending technology that removes it. This is not an incremental improvement — it is a new category of infrastructure.
Investment Thesis
Simulate. Operate. Deploy.
Every system sent beyond Earth's magnetosphere faces the same constraint: ionizing radiation degrades electronics, damages biology, and prevents precision manufacturing. The current mitigation — radiation hardening — is so expensive that it makes permanent orbital infrastructure economically impossible.
The Bueché-Labs artificial magnetosphere removes this constraint at the physics layer. Inside the protected volume, standard COTS hardware operates without modification — an order-of-magnitude cost reduction for every system inside the bubble.
We build in sequence: Simulate (DracANU, Spine-Sim) validates the physics and hardens the design, Operate (MaxQai) proves the autonomy, and Deploy (Space Lease) puts protected, leasable infrastructure in orbit.
Business Model
Revenue Model
| Product | Revenue | Model | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Space Lease | Tenant leases | Infrastructure-as-a-Service | Long-lifespan orbital assets. Tenants lease slots on the Spine and pay for protected volume, power, thermal, and autonomy — protection comes bundled. |
| MaxQai | Per-deployment | Usage-based | Autonomous operations software for orbital systems. Priced per deployment and per managed asset. |
