Our Mission

We aim to provide the financing required to develop the space economy and pave humanity’s expansion into space, including realizing the positive impact potential inherent in space tech.

Space is a highly technical sector – often literally “rocket science.” Many startups are rightfully led by technical founders who are the best at the product they are developing. Our role is to complement this core technical expertise with capital and our business expertise, with the ultimate aim to help bring the companies’ visions to reality and maximize their value.

We are veteran financial markets professionals who are also experienced and trained in space, hence bridging the gap between the space and the investment communities.

Investment

We are professional space investors.
