SpaceFund is a venture capital firm that specializes in the investment and development of the space industry, focusing on companies that enable various subsectors such as transportation, communication, human factors, supplies, and energy. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Houston, TX, SpaceFund deploys a strategy to create a diversified portfolio of the most promising startups in this new space ecosystem, steering clear of traditional aerospace but considering transformational space transportation services. They emphasize a commitment to supporting visionary, practical startups aiming for markets potentially worth billions. With an investment range between $250,000 and $1,000,000 and a preferred 'sweet spot' of approximately $500,000, SpaceFund caters to early-stage companies seeking Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A funding. The firm prides itself on an expert team comprising of technologists, investors, and business developers from the space and finance industries, leveraging their unique insight and access to drive growth in the portfolio companies. SpaceFund engages in ground-breaking market intelligence and performs ongoing research to analyze market size, new market creation, financing, and exits. They support entrepreneurs beyond just financial investments, through engagements in strategic planning, policy formation, and industry leadership, actively shaping the conversation regarding humanity's future in space. Additionally, their SpaceFund Reality (SFR) rating system assesses the potential success of sector players, cutting through hype to focus on core information. SpaceFund also contributes thought leadership on matters such as the VC investment equation in space and the potential of the industry to offer diversification and hedging opportunities due to its weak correlation with other investment avenues. Their portfolio currently extends across numerous sectors, avoiding satellite swarms and drones, but is particularly keen on space transportation and other innovative market segments underserved or emerging within the broader space industry.
