The $17.5M raise at $3.35/share provides near-term runway but creates ~7.5% dilution. Watch for the resale registration statement filing within 30 days of closing—that will enable investors to sell, potentially pressuring the stock. The 60-day lock-up on insiders provides temporary support, but the standstill period ends 60 days post-close, after which the company could issue more shares. Monitor for any subsequent equity issuances or operational milestones on STARLAUNCH.

Executive Summary
Starfighters Space entered into a securities purchase agreement for a $17.5M private placement of 5,223,879 shares at $3.35/share, with Cantor Fitzgerald as placement agent. The capital is intended to fund STARLAUNCH platform development, infrastructure, and operational expansion.
