A total of nine companies were selected to perform 12 "concept studies" on how they could provide Mars-related services, from payload delivery to planetary imaging to communications relays.
Blockchain startups were red-hot when Katie Haun left Andreessen Horowitz in 2021 to launch her own crypto-focused venture firm. Despite having a massive arsenal of dry powder, Haun Ventures didn't rush to scoop up stakes in crypto and web3 on the cheap, and many observers wondered when the firm would pick up its deployment pace.
