most interested in

Space and space-adjacent companies with either existing space markets or dual space/terrestrial markets within 24 months of first revenue. We invest when we see product/market fit.

not interested in

We avoid the launch segment because it is saturated. We also avoid the spacecraft component markets because of low margins.
