Firefly Aerospace's IPO Price Range Could Push Its Valuation Above $5 Billion
Key Takeaways Firefly Aerospace said Monday that it is looking to price its IPO between $35 and $39 per share, offering up 16.2 million shares. At that price range, Firefly could raise $567 million to $632 million, and reach a valuation above $5 billion. Firefly became the first commercial firm to successfully put a lander on the moon earlier this year, and generated $55.86 million in revenue in the first quarter of Aerospace said Monday that it plans to price its initial public offering between $35 and $39 per share, potentially valuing the commercial space technology company north of $5 billion. The IPO, which Firefly filed a prospectus for earlier this month, will see the company offer 16.2 million shares, raising between $567 million and $631.8 million. The company said it plans to use the proceeds to pay back funds it has previously borrowed. Firefly said it has applied for a listing on the Nasdaq exchange, to debut under the "FLY" ticker. Firefly said it expects to have about 140.55 million shares outstanding after the IPO, with its price range bringing the company's valuation between $4.92 billion and $5.48 billion. Its shares outstanding could also come close to 143 million if underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares, the company said. Firefly was valued at more than $2 billion last November, when the company announced the closing of a $175 million Series D funding round, and earlier this year received a $50 million investment from defense contractor Northrop Grumman. In March, Firefly's Blue Ghost lander successfully reached the moon's surface, making Firefly the first commercial company to "achieve a fully successful soft-landing on the Moon." In its prospectus, Firefly said it generated $60.79 million in revenue in 2024, with a net loss of about $231.13 million, compared to $55.24 million in revenue and a $135.46 million net loss in 2023. In the first quarter of 2025, however, Firefly nearly eclipsed its full-year 2024 revenue mark at $55.86 million, with a net loss of $60.1 million. The IPO market had a solid first half of the year, with Firefly's debut following several notable IPOs, including those of CoreWeave (CRWV) and stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group (CRCL).

Father-son startup MAUI Imaging raises $14 million to transform ultrasound technology. Read its pitch deck.
Medical startup MAUI Imaging announced Tuesday it has raised $14 million in Series D funding to develop ultrasound technology that can glimpse beyond traditional devices. While ultrasounds are mostly used for soft tissue, MAUI says it's developing a system to see through and around traditional barriers like bone, gas, fat, instruments, and implants. The company aims to expedite diagnosis and treatment, particularly in trauma scenarios, given that this kind of imaging typically requires CT or MRI scans. A father-son duo founded MAUI — an acronym for Multiple Aperture Ultrasound Insonification — out of their Silicon Valley garage in 2006. The late Don Specht started developing the technology while building space telescopes at Lockheed Martin, and sought — alongside his son David, a former Air Force flyer-turned-entrepreneur who serves as MAUI's CEO — to apply it to the human body. "We had to wait for Moore's Law to catch up," David Specht said of MAUI's long developmental road. The company emerged from stealth in August 2024 with a $4 million Department of Defense contract to study its applications in the field. The military is particularly interested in using the portable system for trauma assessment by corpsmen or medics with minimal training, Specht said. "They're trying to move the decision-making point as far forward as possible because they don't have enough doctors," Specht said. He added that MAUI's imaging results in a massive trove of data that could be useful for AI health tools. MAUI counts eight employees and eight consultants, and it has raised roughly $40 million to date. The Series D included equity funding and was led by ultrasound device company Acertara, which now has exclusive distribution rights to the system. The average sales price for the system is $85,000, plus maintenance costs, Specht said. While the FDA has cleared the device for traditional ultrasound uses, MAUI — which has 160 patents — will use data gleaned from its clinical trials with the military as it seeks clearance to make claims about seeing through and around obstructions. Here's a look at the pitch deck MAUI Imaging used to raise its $14 million Series D. Some slides and details have been redacted in order to share the deck publicly.
