Our Strategy

Joining the Vice President, Buzz Aldrin and others as the President signs Presidential Space Directive One at the White House.

At moonWalker associates, we are policy advocates with a mission to drive innovation and help innovators. We’re committed to innovative thinking that breaks down policy barriers facing those who are redefining the future.

If you have an innovative concept, we can get it heard in the policy process.
If your company has an innovative product, we can help get it recognized by policy-makers and government agencies.
If government actions are impeding the development of new ideas and investments, we can find the people in government who are willing to challenge bureaucratic opposition.

At moonWalker we combine our knowledge of both subject matter and the legislative process in ways no other firm can match.

We know the players on Capitol Hill.
We work closely with executive departments and agencies.
We understand what it takes to be heard.

In fact, we interact with policymakers on a regular basis, bringing respected perspective into their deliberations. That’s why we continue to be leaders in the development of space and technology policy and bring our clients into that environment.

It is our depth of expertise and experience that makes moonWalker a truly unique source of successful advocacy.

How We Work

At moonWalker, we are focused on client success. In the past, our professionals have helped companies like XM Radio, DigitalGlobe, SpaceX and Sierra Nevada gain the kind of foothold in the policy arena necessary to propel them to the top.

Our ability to create client success is based on three principles:

Appraisal
When a potential client comes to us, we listen to the nature of their concept or program. Then we find out what they want to achieve within the public policy arena. Next, we provide an assessment of their chances for success and our initial roadmap of how we think their goals can be realized. Finally, we provide perspective on how we might work together.

Translation
One of the crucial aspects of successful space and technology advocacy is translating tech-speak into policymaker vision. Great ideas can get lost in technical jargon that is not always readily understood by legislators and bureaucrats. As advocates, we help clients present their ideas in a way that gets the right people inside government excited about what is being proposed. That means fitting the client’s concepts into public policy packages that attract champions within the government.

Representation
Our interaction with key policy people inside government and industry allows us to put our clients into the rooms that count. Because we carefully select the people we choose to work with, we are welcomed to bring new, even disruptive, technologies into congressional and administrative deliberations.
