Starbridge Venture Capital is a venture capital fund focused on the overlap between the space technology sector and traditional technology investments. There is true innovation happening across multiple sectors of space science and technology and at a pace that is quite obviously accelerating. Our focus is on finding and investing in companieswhose products will play an important role in developing new commercial space activity, while at the same time having large profit potential in existing markets right here on earth. We call these companies and products 'Space Scalable,' and believe they are the foundation on which the next decade of both commercial space and successful space investing will be built.
