Space Capital LP is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests exclusively in space-based technologies.[1][2] Space Capital is the parent brand of Space Angels, an online angel investment platform and venture capital firm ranked as the most active investor in the space economy, and Space Talent, a career platform and central node for space industry jobs.[3][4][5][6]

Space Angels began publishing a quarterly update on space startup and investment activity in 2017, which coined the 2010s as the entrepreneurial space age.[7][8][9] The report has been cited by the United States Secretary of Commerce[10] and by the Vice President of the United States at the sixth meeting of the National Space Council.[11]

On March 18, 2020, Space Capital published a thesis paper with SIlicon Valley Bank called “The GPS Playbook”. The report forecasted three high-growth fields for commercial space investors over the coming decade: GPS, geospatial intelligence and space-based communications. The report predicted GPS will see new commercial growth and applications through the convergence of space-based signals and computer vision. It also predicted space-based communications and geospatial intelligence could generate $1 trillion of equity value over the next decade.[15]

On May 5, 2020, Space Capital formalized it’s brand architecture with Space Capital as the parent brand and Space Angels, an online angel investment platform, and Space Talent, a career platform and central node for space industry jobs, as it’s sub-brands.[16][17]

Investments

Space Capital invests globally in private companies. It specializes in early stage investments in the Space economy and is specifically focused on unlocking the value in Space technology stacks such as GPS, Geospatial Intelligence, and Communications.[18]

Space Capital has funded space technology companies including SkyWatch, Totum Labs, LeoLabs, SpeQtral, Picterra, FluroSat, Mobius Labs, and dataPlor.[19][20]
