Launch & TransportThe Launchers
Building Nova, a fully and rapidly reusable rocket with a novel second-stage recovery approach. Stoke's design uses a ring of differential throttling engines on the upper stage, enabling it to re-enter and land, a capability no other company has achieved.

reviewed 2026-09-02- Pre-IPO exposure sold through secondary-market special-purpose vehicles (SPVs) can be resold before the IPO. In August 2026 a SpaceX investor paid for pre-IPO exposure and then learned the underlying shares had already been sold.
- Fee stacks of 2 to 18% per layer were reported in August 2026; every intermediary between you and the company takes its own.
- Many of those intermediaries are not registered broker-dealers.
- A hot listing is not a floor: York Space priced its January 2026 IPO at $34, the top of its range, and fell 76% in 2026 after listing.
Recent listings to compare against: Voyager Technologies (VOYG, listed 2025-06-11) and York Space (listed 2026-01-29). Nothing on SpaceDew is financial advice.
IPO TIMELINE
Still private and raising heavily rather than listing: it closed a $1 billion Series E in September 2026, taking its total raised to $2.3 billion. An IPO is unlikely before Nova demonstrates full-stack reusability.
