75 VCs and 6 funds investing in Space Technology
Founding Partner & Managing Director
Khosla Ventures
Check: In a 2020 first-person interview, Samir described a typical Khosla Seed Fund investment as roughly $1M–$2M, used as option-value capital to remove key risks before a larger Series A/B decision. Khosla's current Main Fund covers early through later stages, including total financings above $10M. These are historical/firm-level guideposts, not a guaranteed current personal range.
Samir prefers large, known markets where a radical technical risk can produce a 10x-better product. He treats small seed checks as option-value experiments: identify a potential billion-dollar outcome, use capital to remove a binary technical, team, or market-development risk, then redo the diligence and concentrate capital if the evidence improves. He rejects mechanical pro-rata, values non-consensus decisions, and believes uncapped upside justifies bold technical bets rather than conservative hit-rate optimization.
Managing Partner
Paradigm
Check: Paradigm invests at every stage, from first check through public markets. Its fourth fund is $1.2 billion, but neither the firm nor Alana publishes a personal check range; the fund size is therefore not treated as her check authority.
Alana co-leads a research- and builder-led strategy that backs ambitious technical founders from first check through public markets. Paradigm began in crypto and now targets the fastest-moving technology frontiers, including AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems, space and defense, while continuing to invest in crypto-native markets and financial infrastructure.
Investment Manager
Maki.vc (Web3)
Check: Maki's sweet spot is first rounds below EUR 5 million; this describes the firm's target round, not Wilson's personal authority. He sources and evaluates opportunities within that day-zero mandate.
Wilson sources and evaluates Nordic first-round opportunities across Maki's sector-agnostic mandate, with a research-driven lens and responsibility for ESG development. His first publicly attributed 2026 investment highlights critical deep-tech infrastructure: technically defensible systems addressing a rapidly worsening physical-world problem, with government and commercial customers and a concrete path from development into operational proof.
General Partner
Maki.vc (Web3)
Check: Maki's published sweet spot is first rounds below EUR 5 million from day zero; this is a firm round-size criterion, not Paavo's personal check range. Fund III is the active new-investment vehicle, with selective follow-ons from older funds.
Paavo backs Nordic deep-tech founders at their first institutional round when a radical scientific or engineering advance can overhaul an industry. He requires a credible technical foundation, balanced technical and commercial talent, control of a valuable position in the value chain, deep customer understanding, and a distinctive brand capable of making complex technology category-defining.
Principal
Kleiner Perkins
Check: No personal check range or signing authority is published. Lucas participates across early and growth investments; disclosed company financings should not be treated as his personal range.
Lucas invests in enterprise software and cybersecurity across early and growth stages. His portfolio connects foundation models, data and enterprise AI, open-source software security, managed security, offensive-security automation, operational resilience, physical safety, autonomy, defense, and space. His software private-equity background adds a durable-business lens to technically ambitious companies.
Office Manager
FUSE
Check: FUSE does not publish a standard current check-size range on its official site.
Carmen Ballagan is listed in a Office Manager capacity at FUSE. The firm does not publish a person-specific investment thesis for this role; this profile preserves that role distinction and uses the firm's mandate only as shared context.
Partner
Khosla Ventures
Check: No current personal check range is published. Khosla's Seed Fund backs experiments and its Main Fund covers early through later stages, including total financings above $10M; a 2020 interview described historical seed checks around $1M–$2M. These are firm-level guideposts, not Adrian's personal authority.
Adrian is an early-stage generalist whose prior portfolio and advisory work span fintech, enterprise software, cybersecurity, defense, productivity, and frontier technologies. His biography emphasizes partnering before defining strategic moments rather than arriving only for transactions; the relevant lens is whether a bold founder has an unfair advantage, a billion-dollar market, and a disciplined plan to remove the most important technical and market risks.
Partner
Khosla Ventures
Check: No personal check range is published. Khosla's Seed Fund supports technical and business-model experiments and may incubate companies; historical firm commentary described many seed investments around $1M–$2M. The Main Fund covers larger early and later rounds. These are firm-level references only.
Katie works at the company-formation boundary, incubating and backing early deep-tech and consumer ideas. Her experience spans satellites, AI research, consumer-company formation, entertainment partnerships, fundraising, recruiting, and product at Fei-Fei Li's Astrocade. That combination supports a thesis around technically novel products whose consumer behavior, narrative, team, and initial distribution can be designed together from day zero.
Board Partner
First Round Capital
Check: Firm-level: First Round says initial investments typically range from $1M-$7M, average about $3.5M, and have ranged below and above that; participating rounds have ranged from $100K-$20M.
Rob has historically backed founders pushing beyond existing market boundaries, including Uber, Square, Mint, eero, Gnip, and Planet Labs. His founder lens prizes CEOs who can move fluidly between a compelling high-altitude market narrative and microscopic product or hardware detail. His company-building guidance concentrates on hiring exceptional leaders, protecting cash runway, and maintaining a clear North Star.

Roy spends most of his First Round time in healthcare, applying three decades of product, innovation, and care-delivery experience to companies that can materially improve lives. He favors practical experimentation and measurable implementation over technology theater: identify a consequential workflow, build with the private context and orchestration required for accuracy, rigorously test real outcomes, and help founders win early customers, prioritize development, refine sales, hire, and learn faster.

Principal
Indico Capital
Check: Indico's live technology mandate states mostly Pre-Seed through Series A investments of €500K–€10M, with selective Series B/C participation. This is the firm's range rather than João's personal authority; founders should confirm vehicle, initial ticket and reserves.
João evaluates Southern European technology companies through a combined engineering, investment-banking, private-equity and venture lens. The documented firm mandate favors globally ambitious founders in Portugal, Spain and Italy, mostly from Pre-Seed to Series A, whose technical differentiation can become a durable international business rather than a local feature company.
Principal
Indico Capital
Check: Indico currently publishes €500K–€10M technology investments, mostly from Pre-Seed through Series A with selective Series B/C. This is the live firm range, not Rui's personal check authority; exact sizing and vehicle should be confirmed directly.
Rui brings long-running Portuguese institutional venture experience to Indico's early-stage Southern European technology mandate. Public evidence supports a broad rather than narrow personal sector remit: find exceptional founders in Portugal, Spain and Italy, help them build for global markets from inception and reserve later-stage capital for the strongest validated opportunities.
Partner
Indico Capital
Check: Indico's current technology range is €500K–€10M, mostly Pre-Seed through Series A and selectively Series B/C. This is firm-level guidance, not Rui's personal commitment range; founders should confirm the applicable fund, initial size and reserves.
Rui combines venture investing with transaction and corporate-finance discipline. Within Indico's mandate, that supports globally ambitious Southern European technology companies from early validation through selective growth: the product and founders must be exceptional, but market scale, financing logic, governance and the economics of building an enduring international company must also hold together.

Investor
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Craft attributes venture and growth investments to Taylor, including a Series B investment in Xona; financing totals are not his personal check authority.
Taylor backs frontier systems and software, with a strong interest in physical AI and resilient infrastructure. His Xona thesis illustrates the pattern: a strategically critical legacy system faces technical and geopolitical limits; a new hardware-software architecture produces order-of-magnitude performance gains; and the product can serve both commercial and defense markets. His finance background also supports attention to capital planning and scaling requirements.
Venture Partner
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Craft attributes angel through growth investments and a led Series A to Sky; these are portfolio-stage observations rather than personal check limits.
Sky backs hard-technology companies that extend connectivity and intelligence into the physical world. His company-building history—from EarthLink and Boingo to Swarm, Ring, and Joby—supports a lens centered on infrastructure transitions, ambitious technical systems, consumer-grade usability, and businesses that can ride a long adoption curve from enabling technology to everyday utility.

Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is public. Craft attributes angel, seed, Series A, and Series B investments to Bill, but those stage examples and company financing totals do not establish individual allocation authority.
Bill invests from repeated founder experience at the emergence of new technology and consumer behavior. His official record spans early internet communities, mobile games and virtual goods, institutional crypto custody, esports, character-driven consumer brands, and frontier companies. The consistent lens is an enabling platform or behavior shift that creates a new market, paired with founders capable of translating technical novelty into trusted infrastructure or culturally resonant products.
