Overview
Work Experience
Founder & Managing Partner
2012 - Current
Space Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm specializing in space-based technologies and their applications, i.e. the essential technologies that power the world's largest industries today. We understand the space economy at a fundamentally deeper level than our peers: our partners have built rockets, satellites, and operating systems. We have founded companies with assets currently in orbit and have led multiple exits as founders/operators (the latest was a $500M sale to Google). We've been pioneering investment in this category for over 10 years and now we've literally written the book on the subject with The Space Economy, published by Wiley.
Space Capital invests in the final frontier of technology and growth.
