SpaceVC: $50M Fund II for Frontier Tech at Day Zero

SpaceVC Deploys $50M Into Frontier Technology

SpaceVC has raised a $50 million Fund II dedicated to backing frontier technology companies at the earliest possible stage. The fund invests across energy, defense, artificial intelligence, robotics, and space technology, targeting pre-seed and seed rounds where conviction and speed matter most.

Day Zero Investing in Deep Tech

SpaceVC's strategy centers on what the team calls "day zero" investing: committing capital to companies before they have achieved traditional venture milestones. This approach requires deep technical evaluation capabilities and a willingness to underwrite technology risk in exchange for significant ownership at favorable valuations. The $50M fund size is calibrated for this strategy, large enough to build a diversified portfolio while maintaining the discipline required for early-stage deep tech investing.

Sector Diversification Across Frontier Tech

By spanning multiple frontier technology categories, SpaceVC can identify cross-cutting themes and technologies that single-sector funds might miss. A breakthrough in materials science might apply to both space hardware and energy infrastructure. Advances in AI might enable both autonomous robotics and defense applications. This cross-pollination creates a unique perspective for evaluating early-stage opportunities.
