Queensland startup Gilmour Space Technologies has raised $19 million to supercharge its rocket technology for getting satellites into space.

The funding was led by Main Sequence Ventures, the manager of CSIRO’s $200 million innovation fund, and Blackbird Ventures, and also includes private investors.

Having worked in banking and corporate sales for 20 years, founder and chief Adam Gilmour tells StartupSmart he’s had experience in a lot of different industries, watching companies that have flourished, as well as those that failed.
