Company Overview

Although access to space has increased due to declining launch costs, transferring between orbits remains a significant hurdle. Impulse Space aims to change this with their game-changing infrastructure to enable nimble and cost-effective access to any orbit. Their breakthrough comes in the form of orbital maneuvering vehicles designed specifically for rapid and reliable last-mile payload delivery. These vehicles possess the remarkable ability to deliver multiple payloads to unique orbits with just a single launch.

Thesis Fit

Within the Logistics sector, the demand for orbital transfer vehicles has been rapidly increasing, as they play a crucial role in facilitating various satellite-related tasks such as last mile delivery, repositioning, and servicing. While recognizing the growing demand, we had struggled to find a high-quality team and our search eventually led us to Impulse Space. We were immediately impressed by the founder’s expertise and the team’s capabilities. With a proven track record at SpaceX, the founder not only demonstrates their technical prowess but also aligns with another important investment theme of backing talent from SpaceX, which continues to be a key focus for our fund.
