We are an investment issuer
- Aiming to capitalize on space sector innovators, and visionary organizations that can potentially create substantial value for our shareholders.
- Looking for opportunities around the globe and above it, where we can leverage our knowledge, expertise, and network to potentially unearth and deliver substantive growth and returns.

Thesis
Investment thesis
Many of the most exciting opportunities in the space sector are private companies and are not available to regular investors. In being an investor of Planet Ventures Inc., shareholders indirectly gain exposure to gatekept, private start-ups as well as advanced companies which previously were only largely available to institutions and wealthy investors like Blackrock and the family offices of investors like Mark Cuban and Eric Schmidt.[1]
The commercial space sector is currently dominated by Prime Contractors and Tech Giants. However, there are many space startups particularly in silicon valley which have raised substantial capital hoping to become the next unicorn.[2]
Space could be one of the largest market opportunities of the next decade but it’s also a highly technical investment sector. The Planet Ventures team has the network to tap into desirable deal flow and allocations to prominent space industry investments. Planet Ventures aims to build long-term shareholder value through strategic investments in innovative space sector businesses.
Thesis
The space economy is expanding fast
The Global Space Economy is valued at approximately $626 Billion (2025) and is forecasted to exceed $1.8 Trillion USD within a decade (2035). Driven by robust growth in satellite applications, commercial activities, space-based infrastructure and national security. The sector is experiencing rapid expansion, with commercial entities representing much of the market acceleration.[1]
- Infrastructure Market: $160.97 billion in 2025, growing to over $373 billion by 2034.[2]
- Defense: Global government space budgets were estimated at $137 billion in 2025 and expected to grow substantially as nations compete for strategic high ground.[2]
- Space Tourism: The market is small now but growing fast as launch costs continue to plummet. With a predicted CAGR of over 45%, it’s forecasted to exceed $60 Billion by 2034.[3]
- Space Snowball: The more that we build in space, the more services and infrastructure will be built to facilitate. The more services and infrastructure built to facilitate, the easier/cheaper it becomes to build in space.
