About us
Space Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm specializing in space-based technologies and their applications, i.e. the essential technologies that power the world's largest industries today. We understand the space economy at a fundamentally deeper level than our peers: our partners have built rockets, satellites, and operating systems. We have founded companies with assets currently in orbit and have led multiple exits as founders/operators (the latest was a $500M sale to Google). We've been pioneering investment in this category for 10+ years and now we've literally written the book on the subject with The Space Economy, published by Wiley.
