Industrious Ventures

Attribution. Capability. Intent. The identity layer will underpin both national security and commercial operations in orbit. @CitraSpace is building it. More on why we invested ↓ industrious.vc/resource/citra…

Industrious Ventures' @TaylorCSargent joins @scenarionist to discuss why a sustained presence on the Moon starts with infrastructure, and how to think about timing in frontier markets. 🎙️→ thescenarionist.com/p/isru-and-bey…

Better understanding of the orbital environment is step one. Acting within it is next. @TurionSpace is building systems for space domain awareness + on-orbit mobility, enabling real-time observation, characterization, and response. Why we invested ↓ bit.ly/41OvbUw

One of my favorite firms and people to work with

End of 2025 and beginning of 2026 will from now on be referred to internally as our “banger year.” Also had @AntaresNuclear Series B, which may very well have a hand to play for in-space nuclear. Not bad for a 4 person team!

@IndustriousVC is having a banger year for its space portfolio so far in 2026 @citraspace 15M Series A @HydrosatI 60M Series B @ 180M valuation @TurionSpace 75M Series B @NorthwoodSpace 100M Series B @StarfishSpace 100M Series B @XonaSpace 170M Series C @stoke_space 350M extension to the Series D + 1 more round coming

@TurionSpace is building maneuverable spacecraft that can approach, inspect, and observe other assets up close, adding an active layer to space domain awareness. We're excited to support @RyanWesterdahl and the Turion team in their $75M+ Series B. 🔗spacenews.com/turion-space-r…

As more objects enter orbit, the challenge is no longer detection, it’s understanding. Citra Space (@citraspace) is building software to identify objects and track behavior over time, turning data into actionable insight. We're proud to support the team in their $15M Series A.

“We’ve designed our capability to be just a software update so that we can integrate in billions of devices out there today.” Brian Manning (@XonaSpace) on scaling global positioning + their recent Series C. @tbpn🔗bit.ly/4c3mSdk

@StarfishSpace is building autonomous spacecraft that enable satellites to extend mission life, reposition, and retire on orbit. We’re proud to have backed the team across three rounds as they build toward that future. Why we invested ↓ industrious.vc/resource/why-w…

Satellites were never designed to be serviced. They were launched, operated, then replaced. @StarfishSpace is changing that, making rendezvous, life extension, and on-orbit ops routine. Congrats to the Starfish team; we're excited to keep building alongside you.

DSA approved. ✅ Antares is the first advanced reactor to receive DOE approval of a Documented Safety Analysis under DOE-STD-1271. Our Mark-0 reactor now moves to Readiness Review. Onward.

Artemis II is the next step toward us building a permanent presence on the moon, and @LunarOutpostInc will build the surface infrastructure. They are already the global commercial leader in lunar surface mobility with 5 contracted rovers to the lunar surface. Big things coming from this company. Stay tuned.

To achieve NASA's goal of building a Moon Base, mass production of lunar rovers must start now and Lunar Outpost is ready to deliver. With more lunar rover missions than any company in the world and manufacturing facilities in Colorado, Texas, Australia, and Europe, we’re positioned to mass‑produce spaceflight‑proven robotic rovers alongside our partners, accelerating Artemis infrastructure by orders of magnitude. Backed by low unit cost, a vertically integrated supply chain, high‑cadence production, and short integration timelines, Lunar Outpost is scaling the mobility infrastructure that will drive Artemis and a permanent Moon Base. #LunarOutpost #DrivingArtemis #TheNextLeap #SpaceTech #Innovation

The next phase of the space and defense economy is being built by companies rethinking the underlying systems. Great to see @LunarOutpostInc and @XonaSpace recognized on @FastCompany's Most Innovative Companies of 2026. Full list ↓ fastcompany.com/most-innovativ…

GPS wasn’t built for a contested world. @XonaSpace is delivering the upgrade, 100x stronger, encrypted, centimeter-level precision. We're proud to have participated in their $170M Series C. Congrats to Brian Manning, Tyler Reid, and team.

Sustained presence on the Moon requires infrastructure, mobility, and systems designed to operate. Justin Cyrus breaks down how @LunarOutpostInc is building exactly that on @offnom. Watch ↓ youtube.com/watch?v=gx-n0i…

The next generation of critical industries is being built right now. Our portfolio companies are hiring across engineering, operations, product, and beyond — tackling problems that matter at scale. If you want to help build what’s next, take a look. → bit.ly/4siJJai

Announced today: Ursa Major’s latest variant of the flight-proven, production rate Hadley liquid rocket engine, H13, has successfully completed initial hot fires following design and manufacturing processes improvements. The H13 is our mission-upgraded, hypersonic-ready engine built for diverse applications, now offering increased reusability and streamlined production.   “Hadley is Ursa Major’s foundational engine that has already flown hypersonic several times,” said Christopher Spagnoletti, CEO at Ursa Major. “With new materials and manufacturing, H13 can be reused more than twice as many times as previous variants, driving down the cost per flight while supporting new test objectives and mission profiles.”   Read the full press release for more: ursamajor.com/media/press-re…
