Raison Invests Over $4.5 Million in SpaceX

Raison has expanded its exposure to one of the most transformative technology ventures of the 21st century — SpaceX. The firm’s total investment now exceeds $4.5 million, beginning with an initial commitment of $300,000 in 2019. All transactions were structured through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). This approach allowed Raison to gain early-stage access to SpaceX, long before its valuation surged to its current levels.

Why SpaceX?

Founded by Elon Musk, SpaceX is widely recognized as the most advanced private aerospace company in the world. It was the first to develop a commercially viable reusable rocket, operates the global Starlink satellite internet network, and is developing Starship — an interplanetary vehicle designed for future Moon and Mars missions.

As of 2025, SpaceX holds major contracts with NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense, and is responsible for deploying the largest private satellite fleet in history. Analysts place the company’s current valuation at nearly $200 billion, with a SpaceX IPO projected for 2026.

Raison’s SpaceX Investment Timeline

• 2019–2020: Raison enters SpaceX with a $300,000 investment via SPV — giving the firm early private market exposure to a category-defining aerospace business.
• 2022: Raison increases its position to nearly $2 million, amid growing momentum around Starlink expansion and SpaceX’s flight cadence improvements.
• 2023–2024: More than $2 million is added through additional SPVs, reflecting Raison’s continued confidence in SpaceX as a critical long-term infrastructure provider in space, connectivity, and defense.

SpaceX: Recent Developments Driving Investor Demand

• June 2025: SpaceX completes its third orbital test flight of Starship, the most powerful rocket ever developed.
• Starlink reaches global coverage across 75+ countries, accelerating adoption in underserved areas.
• SpaceX secures multi-year contracts with both NASA and U.S. defense agencies.

Raison’s Perspective on the Space Economy

Alexander Zaytsev, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Raison:

When we entered SpaceX, its resilience and long-term potential were clear to only a few. What we saw was a blueprint for the future: autonomous internet, sovereign satellite networks, and infrastructure to extend human presence beyond Earth. For us, it’s never just about investing in technology — it’s about participating in transformational shifts.
