Space Capital launched the Space IQ: Space Investment Quarterly in 2017 with the aim of uncovering insights about investing in the space economy, and visibility into what space companies to invest in. The data in this investment report is informed by data released publicly, SEC filings, and investor databases, as well as anonymized and aggregated info from the firm's own due diligence processes.
Now, for the first time, this unique dataset is available in a free, interactive format. Interested parties can drill into each of the defined technology stacks, double-click on certain annual data, or zoom into specific country trends.
