Space Capital LP is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests exclusively in space-based technologies.[1][2] Formed in 2017 it is based in New York City. Space Capital is the parent brand of Space Angels, an online angel investment platform, and Space Talent, a career platform and central node for space industry jobs.[3][4]

History

Originally founded in 2007 as an angel investor network, the firm's scale was limited by its informal structure.[5] In 2012, Chad Anderson became CEO and by 2015 transitioned Space Angels away from the decentralized investing model typical of angel networks.[5] In 2015, Anderson re-founded the company and launched its first special purpose vehicle (SPV) fund.[5][6][7]

In 2017, Space Capital[8][9] launched its first institutional venture capital fund of $16 million, with Tom Ingersoll joining as partner.[10] The firm has since grown to three funds and over $100 million under management.[11][12][13] Their investments are focused on space-based technologies such as GPS, geospatial intelligence, and satellite communications.[14]

In 2020, Space Capital formalized its brand architecture with Space Capital as the parent brand and Space Angels (founded in 2007),[1] an online angel investment platform, and Space Talent, a career platform and central node for space industry jobs, as its sub-brands.[4]

Publications

Space Capital began publishing a quarterly update on space startup and investment activity in 2017, which coined the 2010s as the entrepreneurial space age.[15][16][17] The report has been cited by the United States Secretary of Commerce[18] and by the Vice President of the United States at the sixth meeting of the National Space Council.[19]

On March 18, 2020, Space Capital and SIlicon Valley Bank published a report called "The GPS Playbook",[20] which forecasted emerging opportunities for investors in three high-growth fields over the coming decade: GPS, geospatial intelligence and space-based communications.[21]

In an investment trends report published in January 2025, Space Capital anticipated the year would be transformative and that Boeing and Airbus would divest their space divisions.[22]
