Virgin Orbit’s Assets Are Now the Property of Its Three Former Competitors

This is the web version of dot.LA’s daily newsletter. Sign up to get the latest news on Southern California’s tech, startup and venture capital scene.

Three Southern California aerospace companies located near Space Beach have purchased the assets and property of Virgin Orbit at a bankruptcy auction, effectively putting an end to the six-year-old satellite launch firm’s operations.


Virgin Orbit spokesperson Alison Patch told dot.LA that no one has yet placed any bids to buy its six rockets or rights to the intellectual property, including the brand and visual assets.

Neighboring Rocket Lab paid $16.1 million for Virgin Orbit’s 140,000-square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility at 4022 E. Conant St. in Long Beach, plus several 3D-printers. Rocket Lab said it won’t integrate Virgin Orbit’s launch systems into its own.

“Securing the lease to the Conant Facility adds to our existing presence in Long Beach and provides co-located engineering, manufacturing, and test capabilities for our Neutron team,” Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck said in a statement Tuesday. Beck added, “with Neutron’s design and development well-advanced, this transaction represents a capital expenditure savings opportunity to augment our production capability to bring Neutron to the launch pad quickly to serve our customers and their future success.”

Stratolaunch, based in Mojave, paid $17 million for Virgin Orbit’s modified Boeing 747 jet, which it used to attempt launching a rocket from the air. And Vast Space subsidiary Launcher paid $2.7 million for Virgin Orbit’s lease at the Mojave Air and Space Port. The deal will also see Launcher take over some of Virgin Orbit’s equipment, inventory and machinery including a rocket testing facility and aircraft hangar. Launcher and Vast declined to comment.

A liquidation agent called Inliper now owns Virgin Orbit’s office equipment following a $650,000 purchase.

Virgin Orbit confirmed the deals on Tuesday, and said it expects a court to approve them by May 24. “Virgin Orbit's legacy in the space industry will forever be remembered,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “Its groundbreaking technologies, relentless pursuit of excellence, and unwavering commitment to advancing the frontiers of air launch have left an indelible mark on the industry.”

Telecom billionaire Richard Branson created Virgin Orbit in 2017. The company went bankrupt roughly a month ago, after pausing all operations and furloughing about 750 workers on March 16.

Each of these deals highlights the rapid growth of Southern California’s accelerating space industry.

Besides the need for more 3D-printers to make its rockets, Rocket Lab is quickly expanding and needs the extra space to build its larger Neutron rocket and execute on its packed slate of planned missions. These include building a factory in space for space construction firm Varda Space Industries; sending its twin Photon spacecraft to examine Mars’ magnetic field; and sending a private exploration mission to Venus, among others. Rocket Lab is also working with NASA on its Artemis mission to send a woman and person of color to the Moon’s surface by the end of 2024 on its reusable rockets.

Virgin Orbit used a modified Boeing 747 aircraft, nicknamed Cosmic Girl, to air launch its LauncherOne rocket to space from 35,000 feet. Most recently, the vehicle failed during a launch in January – this ended up being its final flight. Stratolaunch’s strategy is similar; it uses a massive aircraft called the Roc to carry rockets and autonomous vehicles and launch them from midair – and that is likely why Stratolaunch wanted to buy Virgin Orbit’s jet.

And Launcher’s parent company Vast has the ambitious goal of launching a commercial space station with simulated gravity for interstellar tourism by 2025. Vast bought Long Beach-based Launcher in February and moved its headquarters to Long Beach shortly after the deal tripled its workforce. It’s now in Virgin Orbit’s neighborhood, and will need to absorb its testing and launch facilities in Mojave to meet that 2025 deadline.

The NASDAQ told Virgin Orbit it would delist its stock on April 4 after the company filed for bankruptcy. This hasn’t yet happened, and Virgin previously said it planned to appeal the ruling; but given this auction, it’s likely the company’s securities won't remain on public markets. When it went public in January 2022 via a SPAC deal, Virgin Orbit was valued at $3.7 billion. Now, its assets are the property of three of its former competitors.

California Passes Landmark AI Law as Russell Westbrook Backs Eazewell

🔦 Spotlight

Good Morning Los Angeles,

What do a new California law and Russell Westbrook’s latest startup have in common? AI at its most powerful and most personal.

California has officially passed the nation’s first AI safety law (SB 53). Signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the measure requires companies developing large scale AI models to disclose risk assessments and safety testing. On the surface, it sounds procedural. But in practice, it is a potential reset on how quickly AI companies ship new products. For years, the narrative has been “innovation first, oversight later.” With this law, California is betting that transparency can move in tandem with progress. Whether it becomes a model for federal policy or a cautionary tale depends on how the industry responds.

Meanwhile, Eazewell, a newly launched startup co-founded by NBA All Star Russell Westbrook, is tackling one of the most difficult spaces in tech: end of life planning. The company offers an AI platform designed to guide families through complex care transitions. It is not the kind of space most founders rush into. It is emotional, often uncomfortable, and full of fragmented systems. But precisely because of that, the potential impact is significant. By blending AI with healthcare navigation, Eazewell is aiming to make one of life’s hardest processes less overwhelming. Westbrook’s involvement draws attention, but the real story is a startup willing to bring technology into conversations many people would rather avoid.

Taken together, these stories capture the stretch of AI right now. On one end, lawmakers are moving to contain its risks. On the other, founders are pushing it into the most intimate corners of our lives. It is not often that state legislation and end of life care land in the same conversation, but that is the reality of AI in 2025.

            Salt AI Secures $10M to Untangle Healthcare’s Toughest Workflows

            🔦 Spotlight

            Hello Los Angeles,

            Not every startup raise deserves the spotlight, but this week’s news from Salt AI is worth paying attention to. The LA based company just closed a $10 million round led by Morpheus Ventures with participation from Struck Capital, Marbruck Investments and CoreWeave. The goal is to expand what it calls “contextual AI,” and if it works, it could quietly change how some of the most complex corners of healthcare get untangled.

            Healthcare is notorious for slow, clunky systems. Even the smallest workflow, like drug trial data, clinical documentation, or compliance reviews, can drag on for weeks because the tools were never built for speed. Salt AI is betting that the fix is not flashy consumer apps or billion parameter models, but something more practical: AI that slots directly into the day to day grind of life sciences. Their platform lets non technical teams visually build and deploy workflows that would normally take months of coding. Drag, drop, done.

            It sounds simple, but the implications are not. Imagine a biopharma team testing a new drug, able to cut through compliance hurdles in days instead of months. Or clinical researchers spinning up experiments and seeing usable results in real time. Salt AI’s pitch is not about replacing scientists, it is about giving them back time in an industry where time can literally mean lives.

            The new capital will help scale engineering, grow its customer footprint, and push further into healthcare and biopharma. But more importantly, it gives Salt AI the chance to prove that “contextual AI” is more than a buzzword. If they succeed, the company will not just chip away at bottlenecks, it could reshape how innovation itself moves through one of the world’s most heavily regulated and mission critical industries.

                    ServiceTitan Ups the AI Stakes

                    🔦 Spotlight

                    Hello Los Angeles,

                    ServiceTitan is making it clear: the trades are getting a tech glow up. At its annual Pantheon conference in Glendale, the home services software giant rolled out a bold AI vision and topped it off with a fresh acquisition that could change the way HVAC contractors do business.

                    First, the AI. ServiceTitan unveiled what it calls the “next evolution” of its platform, and this is not just window dressing. Think automated call summaries so techs spend less time typing, predictive scheduling that knows when your AC is likely to fail before you do, and estimates that generate faster than a homeowner can ask, “So, how much is this going to cost me?” For small and mid sized contractors, these are the kinds of tools that level the playing field against the big chains and maybe even help them get home before dinner. It is AI built not for hype, but for the day to day grind of the trades, where minutes saved can mean jobs won and customers kept.

                    Then came the news that ServiceTitan is acquiring Conduit Tech, a Boston startup best known for its LiDAR powered HVAC design software. Instead of squinting at tape measures and crunching numbers in clunky spreadsheets, contractors can now scan a home, generate a 3D model, and deliver a polished, ACCA certified proposal on the spot. Translation: faster bids, more trust, and fewer “I will get back to you next week” moments.

                    Put together, the AI rollout and Conduit deal are more than product updates. They are a signal of where ServiceTitan wants to take the industry. This is not just software that keeps the books balanced or trucks dispatched. It is an attempt to make technology an advantage in a field where labor is scarce, expectations are high, and every interaction with a customer matters. In short, ServiceTitan is not just keeping the lights on, it is rewiring how the trades get work done.
