Space Capital

Recognized under Tier 10 — Martian Law & Finance, Space Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2012 that focuses exclusively on the space economy, managing more than $1 billion in assets under management across roughly 78 portfolio investments. The firm publishes the widely cited Space IQ report, a quarterly index tracking capital flows across the global space industry, giving operators, regulators, and other investors a common reference point for how money is actually moving through the sector. Its investment thesis treats space infrastructure — communications, positioning, and Earth observation — as foundational to the broader economy rather than a speculative niche. As Moon and Mars ventures move from government-funded demonstrations to commercially financed operations, the capital-allocation discipline and market data that firms like Space Capital provide will determine which habitat, transport, and resource-extraction ventures can secure the funding needed to operate beyond Earth orbit.
