Investment thesis

Space Capital invests in the space economy, which it describes as the invisible backbone powering the world's largest industries. It targets three core categories: GPS, geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), and satellite communications (SatCom), arguing that GPS has already generated trillions in economic value and that GEOINT and SatCom are on a similar trajectory. The firm has invested in this category for over a decade and authored 'The Space Economy' (published by Wiley) along with the GPS, GEOINT, and SatCom Playbooks, investment frameworks adopted by financial firms and governments. It sees surging government demand and accelerating commercial adoption driving the next wave of value creation.
