What is Space Capital?

Space Capital is a venture capital firm headquartered at 54 W 21st Street, Suite 508, New York, NY 10010, specializing in investments within the space economy sector.

They focus on unlocking the value in space technology stacks such as GPS, geospatial intelligence, and communications. With an investment range from $750,000 to $2,000,000 and a sweet spot of $1,300,000, Space Capital targets companies at the Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B stages. They are particularly interested in precision positioning, computer vision, augmented reality, ClimateTech, AgTech, and InsurTech within the space technology realm, namely applications that leverage satellite communications like IoT and 5G.

However, they do not invest in aviation or UAV hardware. Their expertise is in sourcing and evaluating early-stage investment opportunities in innovative companies that contribute to the growth of the space economy.

Space Capital has a deep understanding of the space sector, with team members who have built rockets, satellites, operating systems, and companies with assets currently in orbit.

They have also led significant exits, including a $500M sale to Google, illustrating their strong track record.

Over the past decade, they have been pioneering investments in space-based technologies and understand the space economy at a fundamental level, differentiating them from their peers. As of the reported investment period, they have managed over $100 million in assets while continuously contributing to the industry through insights, publications, and a podcast that offers a deep dive into space economy investment trends.

What they say:

We invest in the space economy, specifically focused on unlocking the value in space technology stacks such as GPS, geospatial intelligence, and communications. We are actively investing out of our third fund and manage over $70 million in assets. Our sector focus enables us to be a true partner to our portfolio companies and unlocks significant value far in excess of our investment capital. The companies we invest in are shaping the future. The history of GPS provides us with a framework for understanding how space-based technology has become a platform for innovation on a global scale. Specifically, the development of technology layers on top of space-based infrastructure and the distribution of data for mass adoption, which help unlock thousands of unique applications.
