Seraphim Turns 10

For ten years, Seraphim has sat at the forefront of global SpaceTech investment—backing the technologies, founders, and missions shaping the future of space.

As we mark our tenth anniversary, we’re proud of what has been built and even more excited about what comes next.

SpaceTech is entering a defining moment. After a record-breaking 2025 and strong start to 2026, the sector is being driven by powerful tailwinds: rising sovereign investment, expanding commercial demand, and the growing importance of dual-use technologies across civil, commercial, and national security applications.

With the market projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035, the years ahead will be critical.

To celebrate both a decade of Seraphim and a pivotal moment for SpaceTech, we’ve created this dedicated anniversary hub.

Seraphim Space: past, present, and future

To mark Seraphim’s tenth anniversary, we’re sharing Seraphim Space: Past, Present, Future—a special podcast series featuring conversations with leaders shaping the global space ecosystem.

The series, filmed in October last year, is hosted by Candace Johnson, Partner at Seraphim, Chair of our Advisory Committee, and recipient of the 2025 Arthur C. Clarke Foundation Innovator Award.

In the first episode of Seraphim Space: Past, Present and Future, Candace Johnson speaks with Aarti Holla-Maini, Director General of the United Nations Office of Outer Space, on space governance, international cooperation, and the future of the global space ecosystem.

In the third episode of our anniversary podcast series, host Candace Johnson sits down with Luca Rossettini, Founder and CEO of D-Orbit, one of Seraphim’s leading portfolio companies.

 In the fourth episode of our anniversary podcast series, host Candace Johnson sits down with Max Haot, CEO of Vast. Together, they discuss his vision for the next generation of commercial space stations. Tune in for a fascinating conversation set against the backdrop of the planned retirement of the International Space Station in 2030. 

In the fifth episode of our tenth-anniversary podcast, host Candace Johnson sits down with renowned astronaut Soichi Noguchi, who has journeyed to the International Space Station three times over the course of his remarkable career. This episode was recorded in October 2025. 

In episode six, Candace sits down with Pascale Ehrenfreund—President of the Committee on Space Research, President Emeritus of the International Astronautical Federation, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Space Foundation—who delivers a compelling call to action for entrepreneurs, investors, and stakeholders to unite in building a new era of space and space technology for the benefit of our planet. 

In episode seven of our tenth-anniversary podcast series, Candace Johnson sits down with Adam Grunsell, Partner at KPMG Australia, to explore the critical role SpaceTech plays in defence and national security.
