56 VCs and 9 funds investing in Aerospace
Partner and Managing Director
Khosla Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Khosla invests from seed through growth; company round totals and the firm's assets are not Sven's personal check parameters.
Sven backs technically ambitious companies that can create new industries or unlock novel user experiences. His engineering lens favors frontier AI, robotics, autonomy, aerospace, developer infrastructure, climate, and other atoms-plus-software businesses where improved simulation, computation, manufacturing, or foundational models make a previously government-scale or uneconomic problem tractable for a startup.
Founder and Partner
GTK Partners
Check: GTK is primarily a corporate advisory firm and does not publish an Ali-specific venture check range. Ali has disclosed individual technology investments, but those do not establish a repeatable allocation mandate. Companies should clarify whether they seek advisory work, financing support or an investment.
Ali works where technical systems, strategic finance and corporate transactions meet. GTK's work spans private growth companies, corporations and financial sponsors, with particular expertise in software-hardware convergence such as IoT, autonomy and robotics. His Tech. Cars. Machines. interviews examine commercialization, market readiness, technical defensibility and the corporate partnerships or financing required to scale complex technology.
Partner
Lux Capital
Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Shahin invests from early conviction through enduring scale and has co-founded companies; financing requirements are opportunity-specific and should be confirmed directly.
Shahin creates and backs generational frontier companies that endow people and machines with new capabilities. An engineer and founder, he looks across AI, chips, compute, autonomy, aerospace, robotics, biotech, defense, energy, and infrastructure for radical underlying technologies—not diminishing improvements—that can unlock previously impossible products. He invests early, may help form companies, and supports founders through technical proof, customer trust, manufacturing, and scale.
Partner
Lux Capital
Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Tess invests at both early and growth stages and participates in Lux company creation; founders should confirm round fit directly rather than infer an allocation from fund size or disclosed company rounds.
Tess is a technically trained generalist investing where AI, biology, aerospace, and the physical world intersect. She seeks engineers and scientists turning frontier research into companies, with particular interest in computational methods that make biology more engineerable, the data and model bottlenecks behind scientific discovery, and high-consequence systems such as biodefense.

Co-founder & Venture Partner
Craft Ventures
Check: No Bill-specific check range is public. Craft's current portfolio attributes investments to him across angel, seed and later venture/growth rounds, but round labels and company financing totals do not establish his personal or fund check size. Confirm vehicle, ownership target and lead appetite directly.
Bill's record reflects a founder-led approach to category creation across internet platforms, mobile virtual goods, institutional crypto and frontier technology. His operating history at Remarq, Social Concepts and BitGo and his attributed investments in SpaceX, Neuralink, Fold and other platform companies suggest a preference for products that open a new market, establish trusted infrastructure or ride a durable distribution shift.
