Playground, Seraphim and Root VCs talk funding trends at TC Sessions: Space

The wild funding spree that was 2021. did not take a page from the VC spending of 2022. The approach this year has had a cooling effect.

Investments in space companies hit $3.4 billion in the third quarter of the year, down from the third quarter of the previous year. Some predict that some sectors are more resistant to decline than others.

We are thrilled that Jory Bell, general partner at Playground Global; Mark Boggett, CEO and managing partner at Seraphim Capital; and Emily Henriksson, principal at Root Venture, will join us onstage for a panel discussion at thetc sessions: space on december

Panelists in a session called "Backing Big Bets in Uncertain Times" will discuss the current mindset and priorities of investors who have previously backed space startup. We want to know if remote sensing, which provides critical information to both governments and enterprises during increasingly uncertain times, might be better insulated from macroeconomic trends.

If we are in for an extended economic downturn, what should we expect from private space capital in the years to come? We have a lot of questions and these people should be able to answer them.

Jory Bell was one of the first people to invest in Playground Global. One of his investments went public last year.

Bell is the leader of the firm's investment efforts in deep tech areas. He has an investment portfolio that includes several companies.

Three companies that have achieved billion-dollar valuations are among the companies that Mark Boggett invested in. The British Smaller Companies VCT 1 and 2 were created by YFM Equity Partners.

Boggett worked at two other places. He received a master's degree in economics and finance after completing his undergraduate degree in accounting and finance.

Tools and infrastructure, low-cost robotics, and hardware and data science are some of the areas that the firm invests in. She was an engineer and supervised vehicle build for schedule-critical missions before she joined root.

The Model 3 battery module team was led by him. She obtained her degrees in mechanical engineering and business administration.
