Episode 15: Follow the York Space Systems Money
In this episode of Markets Without Spin, I continue following the money behind York Space Systems. What began with an unexpected visit to the Small Satellite Conference led me to York, its acquisition of Orbion, and ultimately to the people and institutions behind the company. We look at AE Industrial Partners, York chairman Kirk Konert, founder Dirk Wallinger, and BlackRock—and ask an important question: who actually owns York, who controls it, and where does the money behind the company come from? This is part of a continuing series examining York Space Systems, its acquisitions, its investors, and the incentives that may ultimately determine what happens to the company. And we're not finished. Next time on Markets Without Spin: Who Owns the Owners?
