CANOPY AEROSPACE
Canopy was founded in late 2021 to solve critical supply chain issues in the space industry. Founders Matt Shieh and John Howard noticed that high-temperature materials used in extreme space environments such as space launch and re-entry were critically constrained. This set forth the motion to transform legacy manufacturing processes across industries to support humanity’s reach for the stars.
