The Q4 2021 Space Investment Quarterly is now live!
Last year, the space economy benefited from a significant increase in global venture funding
Key highlights from the report include:
- With another $14.7B invested into 134 space companies in Q4, there has now been over a quarter of a trillion dollars ($252.9B) of equity investment into 1,694 unique companies
in the space economy over the past 10 years and we expect that growth to continue
- This was a record year for investment in the category, with $46.3B invested across all space technology stacks. It was a particularly massive year for investment in space Infrastructure with $14.5B invested (more than 50% greater than the prior record set in 2020).
- Last year, the space economy benefited from a significant increase in global venture funding. VCs invested $17.1B into 328 space companies in
2021, accounting for 3% of total global venture capital flows.
- While venture momentum set all-time records for space investments in 2021, much of this capital was chasing solutions based on a 10-year-old launch paradigm. Now, with Starship expected to come online in 2022, we are entering into a new phase of Infrastructure development. As investors in this category, we’re looking for founders who are building for this new reality.
