History

Space Capital was founded by Chad Anderson in 2017 in New York City, with Tom Ingersoll joining as a Partner.[6][7] Space Capital launched its first fund of $16 million in 2017.[8]Template:Cn

Space Capital began publishing a quarterly update on space startup and investment activity in 2017, which coined the 2010s as the entrepreneurial space age.[9][10][11] The report has been cited by the United States Secretary of Commerce[12] and by the Vice President of the United States at the sixth meeting of the National Space Council.[13]

On March 18, 2020, Space Capital and SIlicon Valley Bank published a report called “The GPS Playbook”,[14] which forecasted emerging opportunities for investors in three high-growth fields over the coming decade: GPS, geospatial intelligence and space-based communications.[15] 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.[16]

On May 5, 2020, Space Capital formalized its 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 its sub-brands.[5]

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.[16][17][18]
