We bring over 15 years of experience in the venture capital and startup ecosystem. Our team has collectively invested in more than 40 startups, deploying over $20 million in capital and helping these companies raise an additional $100 million.

WHY SPACETECH

Launch costs have significantly decreased due to advancements in reusable rocket technology. Historical data shows that during the Space Shuttle era, costs were approximately $54,500 per kilogram. With the introduction of reusable rockets like Falcon 9, this has dropped to $2,720 per kilogram and if successful, even lower with Starship to a projected $10 per kilogram.

The global space economy is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2040, up from $630 billion in 2023, according to McKinsey: Space: The $1.8 trillion opportunity for global economic growth. This growth is driven by advancements in satellite services, space exploration, and emerging industries such as space manufacturing and asteroid mining.
