Where Space Finds Its People: EVONA Rebrands for the Next Era of the Space Economy

EVONA, the specialist talent partner to the space industry, has launched a new brand identity under the tagline “Where Space Finds Its People” – reflecting its evolution into an operator enabling growth, scale, and investor outcomes across the sector.

The rebrand follows EVONA’s strongest revenue year in 2025 and continued expansion across its talent solutions. As the space economy matures and the demands on scaling companies intensify, EVONA has focused on building the talent infrastructure that ensures people don’t become the limiting factor as companies grow.

Built for Space From Day One

EVONA didn’t pivot into space. The company was founded in 2018 with a single focus – space, and nothing else. Since inception, EVONA has generated more than $30 million in revenue and has worked closely with companies shaping the space economy, including AST SpaceMobile, ICEYE, Voyager, and teams within the Space Capital portfolio.

The company has scaled over 300 space companies, placed more than 2,000 people into the sector, and supported 12 clients through to IPO.

A Long-Term Talent Ecosystem

EVONA’s ambition extends beyond individual placements. The company has set an objective to support the next generation of space unicorns and place 50,000 people into space roles – focusing on execution and outcomes rather than volume hiring.

Tom Kelly, CEO of EVONA, said:

“As the space economy matures, capital and technology are no longer the major bottlenecks – although they remain extremely challenging to master. The real challenge is execution. Talent provides the infrastructure needed to execute on capital and technology, and as an operator embedded in the space economy, we take that responsibility seriously.

The companies being built today will define how the world communicates, monitors climate, and defends critical infrastructure for decades. The people inside those companies are making that happen. The space race won’t be won by rockets; it will be won by people. That belief sits at the heart of our rebrand. We are charging toward finding 50,000 people their place in the space economy.”

Global Presence, Sector Commitment

Launched in Bristol, UK, EVONA expanded to Florida in 2023 and has since made its mark at the highest levels, including an invitation to speak at the White House.

Beyond commercial outcomes, EVONA is committed to raising awareness of careers in the space sector through outreach to students, showcasing STEM and the wide range of skills – technical and non-technical – needed to build the space economy.
