New Zealand startup successfully launches rocket
If you want a rideshare launch you have to wait, usually for years. And these guys can launch quickly, and still usually be cheaper or same price as rideshares. Non quite good for nanosats/cubesats, but fine for microsats.

Cheaper? Do you have a source on the claim that the per-kg launch cost of a rideshare is really an order of magnitude larger than the primary payload?
