New York is the finance capital of the world, and space financing is no exception.
From 2000-2021, New York is a top-2 source of space financing with 18% of space investors in the US. This breaks down into NY as the #1 source for private equity space financing at 39% of the US, #2 source for venture capital space financing at 18% of the US, and #2 source for angel investor space financing at 13% of the US [1].
Empire Space's Business Capital database includes space financing sources from angel investors, venture capital, private equity, and investment banks in most regions of New York State. Activity is focused in New York City, which contains all of the high-space-focus capital sources and most of the moderate-space-focus ones. The next most active regions are the Capital Region, Western NY, and Mid-Hudson, while the least active regions are the North Country, the Mohawk Valley, and Long Island.
New York's high-space-focus financing sources boast ~$10 trillion in assets under management (AUM), while the high- to moderate-space-focus financing sources possess a whopping $25T+ in AUM. These massive AUM figures are mostly contributed to by the investment banks and private equity firms on the list, which are almost entirely in NYC. Nonetheless, these figures demonstrate the scale of the financial players in NY that are active in the space industry.
This database is constructed from publicly available sources, all of which are included in the table below. We are constantly on the hunt for new data sources to better refine our tables.
We encourage you to dive into this data and learn about what’s going on in your region, or find potential sponsors for your organization. This database is still under construction, and we are continuously updating and refining our datasets to present a more accurate picture of the New York space ecosystem.
