Thematic macro capital for the orbital economy

The Nine Pillars

Our map of the orbital economy as one connected system: how space is sensed, connected, computed, operated and defended. We underwrite each pillar as a macro theme, track where government and commercial demand is moving, and back the companies building toward that future.

    Orbital defense & space warfighting
  2. 02
    Space domain awareness & orbital intelligence
  3. 03
    National-security software
  4. 04
