The Advent of Space

Advent International has led a $6.4 billion acquisition to take private Maxar, a space imagery and infrastructure company.As the industry gets into festive spirit in the lead up to Xmas, this looks like being a nice gift-wrapped present to fill the stocking in the house of Advent and other lead investor, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation. The deal is still pending agreement under a 60-day ‘go-shop period’. Still, it shows that private equity is setting its sights on the next frontier. As the industry prepares to take a well-earned rest, this deal could set other GPs dreaming of the stars…and maybe finding space in their own portfolios.

KPMG’s Q3 Venture Pulse Report found that 575 VC deals were completed in Q3, down from 865 deals completed in Q2. Deal value dropped from £8 billion to £4 billion; enough to send a shiver down the spine of any budding entrepreneur. The question now is: Will this be a short cold snap or a new Ice Age?
