This interview with Apollo Strategies Inc. CEO, Dave McIver, discusses the company’s strategic growth plan, its focus on emerging markets, and how it will use the Apollo Fund to capitalize on opportunities, including new research centers and collaborations with universities, research institutions, and government agencies.
Apollo Strategies is the largest private equity firm in the world. It has built two global investment companies, including the Apollo Fund (its flagship fund), which is the world’s largest private-equity fund. It has also created thousands of companies, including a dozen Fortune 500-listed companies, and invested a total of $15.5 billion in private capital in the past 18 months. It runs over 11,000 employees and has assets of over $2 trillion.

The biggest company Apollo Strategies has invested in is Apollo Global, a $25 billion energy company with over 5,000 employees and assets of over 2 trillion.
Apollo Global is one of the largest private equity funds in the world, so it’s not a surprise that we’re seeing a lot of investment in energy, but Apollo’s other biggest private equity fund, Apollo Global Fund, has invested in over a dozen private-equity funds and more than 12,000 companies worldwide in the past 18 months.
We just heard from Apollo Global’s general counsel that in the space of a few months Apollo Global has invested over $2 billion in the space industry.
One of Apollo Global’s biggest deals was with Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin space company. It was announced in October that Apollo Global had committed $50 million to the company’s $250 million fund to develop their new space rocket, the Blue Origin. The deal was so big that Apollo Global was able to make the investment in just one week.
The big deal was all about the new space rocket, the Blue Origin. The rocket would be the biggest to be launched into orbit before Apollo actually launches. The Apollo program would launch around four rockets a year, each with a launch on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and a spring launch. With the Apollo Space Launch System (pictured above), Apollo will launch its first two rockets in 2011 and 2012.
While the NASA mission to launch a rocket is an important goal, the success of a launch depends on the quality of the rocket itself. The Apollo program’s rocket was built before other rockets were ever built, so the Apollo program’s rockets have a much better record than other rockets. Apollo’s rockets have been flying for over 45 years, and they’ve never been seriously damaged.
Apollo rocket has three sections. The first section is the top of the rocket, which is where Apollo will place the first stage. The second section is the core section, which is where the second stage will be. The third and final section is the power section, which is where the third stage will be, and Apollo will use its rocket engines to propel the rocket into orbit.
