LEAP, headquartered in Lafayette, Colorado, is redefining space logistics with its proprietary Dual Mode Rocket Engine (DMRE) technology. The company offers simple, mass-manufacturable, low-cost launch solutions that complement traditional vehicles. With a growing customer base, LEAP is well positioned to expand its partnerships across both the Department of Defense (DoD) and the commercial space sectors.
"We are excited to partner with LEAP as they redefine reliable, on-demand access to space," said Kevin O'Neil, Founder and CEO of ONE Funds. "Their capital-efficient development model, cutting-edge technology, and strong team align perfectly with our investment strategy. We look forward to supporting their growth as they scale their impact in the U.S. and globally."
With its core technology already demonstrated, LEAP plans to launch its first test vehicle into space within the next twelve months—marking a key step toward full-scale commercial operations.
"We're excited to partner with the Colorado ONE Fund," said Chris Beckman, CEO of LEAP. "It was important to find an investor who shares our vision of redefining reliable access to space. Together, we're committed to advancing the future of responsive space logistics and contributing meaningfully to the ONE Consortium portfolio."
"Colorado ONE Fund is proud to support visionary aerospace companies like LEAP. This investment will drive innovation in national security, create high-paying jobs in Colorado, and strengthen the U.S. position in global space logistics," O'Neil said.
