Seraphim Space was founded in 2016 by Mark Boggett, James Bruegger, and Rob Desborough, launching the world's first venture capital fund dedicated exclusively to the commercial space technology sector at a moment satellite technology remained a niche, capital-intensive category most generalist VCs avoided. That singular focus produced a genuinely full-stack platform spanning early-stage venture funds, the Seraphim Space Accelerator (the largest VC-led program in the sector, helping alumni raise more than $830 million), and Seraphim Space Investment Trust, a London Stock Exchange-listed growth-stage vehicle that itself completed an IPO in 2021 - an unusually direct public-market validation for a venture platform. Seraphim has backed more than 145 SpaceTech startups across 33 countries including Spire Global, Arqit, and LeoLabs, with AUM exceeding $630 million and portfolio companies collectively raising more than $12 billion.
Seraphim Space Investment Trust's own IPO on the London Stock Exchange in 2021 - an unusually direct exit for a venture firm, since the growth-stage fund itself went public, alongside nine unicorns and six IPOs across the broader Seraphim portfolio
