The Birth of SpaceFund

Founded in 2018 by Rick Tumlinson and Meagan Crawford, SpaceFund emerged with a clear vision: to invest in visionary yet practical high-growth startups that address the multi-billion dollar space markets. Unlike traditional venture capital firms, SpaceFund focuses exclusively on space-related ventures that will both enable and benefit from the ongoing space revolution.
