History

Space Capital was founded by Chad Anderson in 2017 in New York City, with Tom Ingersoll joining as a Partner.[5][6] Space Capital launched its first fund of $16 million in 2017.[7]

Space Capital began publishing a quarterly update on space startup and investment activity in 2017, which coined the 2010s as the entrepreneurial space age.[8][9][10] The report has been cited by the United States Secretary of Commerce[11] and by the Vice President of the United States at the sixth meeting of the National Space Council.[12]

On March 18, 2020, Space Capital and SIlicon Valley Bank published a report called “The GPS Playbook”,[13] which forecasted emerging opportunities for investors in three high-growth fields over the coming decade: GPS, geospatial intelligence and space-based communications.[14]

On May 5, 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]
