Flagsuit, LLC Company Description:
Affordable spacesuits will transform the emerging private spaceflight industry by making it practical for humans to utilize cheap access to space. Flagsuit LLC is seeking funding to develop a hyperbaric (pressurized) suit with excellent mobility at a price that enables affordable spacesuits. The same product will fill a non-space consumer need for a mobile chamber for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, creating a convenient way for people to treat and prevent disease. By pursuing both markets, risk from low early demand in the emerging spaceflight market is mitigated, positive cash flow is reached sooner, and Flagsuit becomes well positioned to deliver space qualified hyperbaric suits once that market solidifies.The Space Fontier Foundation extends a warm "Thank You" to all of this year's contestants!
