Productized satellite bus manufacturer building spacecraft at scale.
Apex Space manufactures standardized, productized satellite buses out of Los Angeles, enabling commercial and government customers to launch spacecraft faster and cheaper than custom-built alternatives. The first Aries satellite is healthy on-orbit since 2024; Series D in September 2025 nearly doubled manufacturing capacity.

IPO Outlookprivate
Is Apex going public?
No. Apex is private and has not filed to go public. There is no S-1 on file.
What is Apex's valuation in 2026?
Apex is valued at $1.0B as of 2025-Q3, set by its Series D ($200M, Sep 2025). That is the last confirmed mark, not a live price — private shares do not trade continuously.
Apex has raised $415M in total, most recently a Series D of $200M in Sep 2025.
Is Apex publicly traded — can you buy Apex stock?
No. Apex is a private company — its shares are not listed on any exchange and there is no ticker. The routes to exposure are pre-IPO secondary marketplaces and funds (accredited investors), employee tender offers when the company runs one, and public companies with read-through exposure. QuantLogix maps every route it can verify for Apex on its Pre-IPO Access Desk.
Answers are derived from the roster record shown on this page — filing status, last round and confirmed marks. Where the record is silent, the answer says so rather than guessing.
