Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now
Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.

Exciting Edtech Companies Hiring In 2023
Education tech, or edtech, is on the rise as educators and families try to adapt to a generation of children raised online. Over 65% (https://www.vivi.io/what-types-of-technology-can-be-used-in-the-classroom/) of teachers use digital tools to teach everyday, and the Edtech industry is predicted to grow to nearly $320B (https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2022/05/02/2433414/0/en/With-17-8-CAGR-EdTech-and-Smart-Classroom-Market-Size-Worth-USD-319-65-Billion-in-2029.html) by 2029. Covid-19 kicked the need to integrate technology with education into overdrive. Prior to the pandemic about 2/3rds of school districts reported providing students with a digital learning device; post pandemic this number skyrocketed to 90% (https://www.edweek.org/technology/what-the-massive-shift-to-1-to-1-computing-means-for-schools-in-charts/2022/05). Online classes went from the fringes of education to the forefront, with a 99% (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/edtech-stats) increase in Edtech usage in K-12 since 2020, over 70% (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/edtech-stats) of colleges launching online undergrad programs, and approximately 90% (https://www.concordia.edu/blog/3-reasons-why-teachers-need-technology-in-the-classroom.html) of U.S. educators teaching some amount of their classes online from home. Studies have shown that students with the highest outcomes (https://www.concordia.edu/blog/3-reasons-why-teachers-need-technology-in-the-classroom.html) in reading, science, and math, were the students spent an hour or more per week doing homework on a device. Edtech is demonstrably important for making learning more accessible (https://www.concordia.edu/blog/3-reasons-why-teachers-need-technology-in-the-classroom.html), as the at-your-pace structure of online learning paired with all the possibilities for Edtech such as video lectures and gamified lessons can be helpful alternatives to students who struggle in a traditional class format. Parallel Learning (/company/parallel-learning-1) is a company that understands this and offers skill-based tutoring, behavioral therapy, speech language therapy, and more to students from the comfort of their own home and at an affordable price. Brightwheel (/company/brightwheel) is a company dedicated to providing families with the best early education by allowing teachers more valuable time with students, engaging parents in their child’s education, and more. SchoolLinks (/company/schoolinks) is a learning platform dedicated to turning K-12 education into a pipeline for college and careers. Their platform gives students and academic advisors the tools they need to plan out their future,and take the steps necessary to achieve it. If you want to play a part in the education of the next generation of thinkers, doers, and leaders, take a look at these 5 Edtech companies hiring in 2023.
