Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

• Who is the Space Venture Club for?

  It’s an invite-only club for accredited investors with serious capital intent who are drawn to the space economy — launch, in-space mobility and servicing, satellite infrastructure, space domain awareness, in-space manufacturing, or the systems enabling the next phase of human spaceflight. It’s built for decision-makers, not spectators: every member evaluates every deal with a yes or no, and values rigorous peer discussion, confidentiality, and relationships built over time.

• How do I join?

  Apply through a short online form followed by a 20-minute interview to confirm fit and expectations. If it’s a match, you onboard into the cohort with access to the Club Portal, the member directory, and your first meeting invite.

• What is the time commitment?

  Members meet once a month for one live deal drop with founder or sponsor Q&A — 60 focused minutes designed to sharpen your investment thesis. There are also annual in-person gatherings designed to deepen relationships and pressure-test thinking.

• What companies and co-investors will I be working alongside?

  Members review live space and aerospace deals sourced directly from Alumni Ventures’ VC pipeline — companies like Impulse, Northwood, Databento, Axiom Space, Astro Mechanica, LeoLabs, Starfish Space, and Citra Space Corporation — and deploy capital alongside Alumni Ventures and established VC lead investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed, NEA, QED Investors, General Catalyst, and Menlo Ventures.

• Are the deals real, and am I expected to invest?

  Every deal is live and real — no case studies, no simulations. Independent judgment is expected, not optional, and each member evaluates every deal with a yes or no. Members set their own pace while the club sets the standard. All investment decisions are made individually; the club typically sees meaningful levels of participation in some of the opportunities considered over the course of a year.

• How is confidentiality handled?

  Confidentiality is central to how the room works. Members keep investment amounts private, and what’s discussed in the room stays in the room. Discussion is structured and challenges the deal, not the person.

• Who runs the club?

  The Space Venture Club is powered by Alumni Ventures, one of the world’s most active venture firms (since 2018, per PitchBook). Members engage directly with live AV deal flow, building independent judgment with real stakes, not hypotheticals.
