Jonathan Lacoste invests in space and frontier technology through a distinct lens: he looks for ideas that improve life on Earth, like communications, agriculture, defense, and mapping, often stepping in before a company even exists, tracking where top founders move next as a sign of where new opportunities are forming, and favoring ideas that can become commercially real within about 7 to 10 years. Before investing, he was a nationally ranked ice hockey goaltender, and he later founded Space VC in 2021, ahead of the current wave of interest in frontier tech, while later expanding his focus to include energy, grid infrastructure, and robotics.
