Star Catcher

Star Catcher is building the first orbital power grid, delivering energy to satellites via space-based power beaming and enabling a shift from hardware-constrained spacecraft to flexible, on-demand energy infrastructure.

The next frontier needs an energy grid.

Why we invested

MVP followed Star Catcher for nearly two years before investing, watching an ambitious idea for orbital power infrastructure move steadily closer to reality. The company paired a repeat aerospace founder with a model designed to deliver power to existing satellites as a recurring service, creating infrastructure that could scale alongside a growing space economy. After Star Catcher demonstrated key components of the technology on orbit, we believed the technical progress had caught up with the size of the opportunity.

Partnership

A strong partnership should evolve when the company's needs do. As Star Catcher's work with government and national security has expanded, MVP has brought new resources into the relationship, connecting the team more deeply with our government expertise while working alongside them on the capital strategy for what comes next.

What we do for them

  • Support fundraising strategy and introductions to prospective investors
  • Connect Star Catcher with government and defense expertise
  • Coordinate co-investment opportunities across MVP's investor network
