Stellar Ventures is a woman-led venture capital firm investing in early-stage, mission-driven space technology companies. The firm backs extraordinary entrepreneurs leveraging space technology to build exceptional businesses that will change the world, targeting both terrestrial and orbital applications including satellite navigation, Earth observation, in-orbit manufacturing, cybersecurity, and direct-to-device telecom. Stellar Ventures draws its competitive edge from a strategic partnership with Stellar Solutions, Inc., a global aerospace engineering firm with 300+ employees serving defense, intelligence, civil, and commercial space customers. This partnership provides three unique advantages: proprietary deal flow, deep technical due diligence, and facilitated introductions to government customers. The firm typically writes checks of $500K–$1M at seed and early Series A, and practices conviction-based investing by following on in subsequent rounds of its strongest portfolio companies.
Notable quotes
“We are standing at the precipice of exponential growth in the space industry, similar to the Internet in the late 1990s. Amazon, Google and Netflix were built upon the Internet's foundation. In today's space industry, the commodification of space launch has led to a similar dynamic, with a new set of entrepreneurs rapidly bringing innovative products to market. Stellar Ventures is investing in promising entrepreneurs who are capitalizing on these opportunities to build the space companies of tomorrow.”
“At the end of the day, that's really our competitive advantage. We get three things from Stellar Solutions that no other fund has: deal flow, due diligence and facilitating introductions with the government.”
“Stellar Ventures is committed to identifying successful investments for its limited partners and fueling the development of space-enabled technologies to achieve ambitious business, government and environmental goals. Engineers are creating the next generation of space startups and can prove out their technology on orbit for a fraction of what it cost just a few years ago. What was once the realm of science fiction is now reality as humanity expands into the cosmos.”
