- Planet Ventures Inc. recently invested USD$125,000 in MCXGP Relativity Fund I, LLC, a special purpose vehicle that participated in the latest financing round of Relativity Space Inc.
- Relativity Space, led by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt since 2025, is advancing the Terran R fully reusable launch vehicle while also exploring orbital data centers optimized for artificial intelligence workloads.
- The investment adds to Planet Ventures’ growing space sector portfolio, which previously included exposure to orbital energy infrastructure and cislunar development opportunities.
The private space sector has moved beyond a phase where access to late-stage aerospace companies was limited to venture capital firms and strategic corporate investors. Through the emergence of special purpose vehicles and dedicated fund structures, smaller public companies can now participate in financing rounds that were historically out of reach. This shift is redefining how smaller public companies can gain exposure to some of the most closely held private aerospace opportunities.
Planet Ventures (CSE: PXI) (OTC: PNXPF) (FSE: P6U) utilized that structure on April 8, 2026, announcing a USD$125,000 equity investment in MCXGP Relativity Fund I, LLC, a special purpose vehicle that participated in the latest financing round of Relativity Space Inc. The investment provides Planet Ventures with indirect exposure to a private aerospace company that is entering a new phase of development under high-profile leadership.
Relativity Space at a Strategic Inflection
Relativity Space is known for a manufacturing approach built around additive manufacturing at industrial scale. The company operates a facility exceeding one million square feet in Long Beach, California, where its proprietary Stargate printers are designed to significantly reduce production timelines, from years toward months, through automation and rapid iteration. The manufacturing platform integrates software, robotics, and data-driven processes to streamline production and enable continuous design improvements.
The company’s flagship launch vehicle, the Terran R, is a fully reusable next-generation rocket designed for mid-to-heavy lift missions, with an expected payload capacity of roughly 20,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit. Terran R is engineered for rapid reusability and higher launch cadence, with the goal of improving overall launch economics. Its Aeon R engines are designed for performance, reliability, and reuse, while leveraging additive manufacturing to simplify architecture and reduce part counts.
The Schmidt Expansion
Eric Schmidt became Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Relativity Space in 2025, and his arrival has been accompanied by an expanded strategic thesis. Leadership transitions of this scale often mark inflection points where companies expand beyond their original technical focus into broader platform strategies.
In addition to advancing Terran R toward its first orbital flight, Relativity Space is now exploring the deployment of data centers in orbit, leveraging space-based environments to support the rapidly growing demand for artificial intelligence training and high-performance computing workloads.
The orbital data center concept reflects a convergence of two otherwise separate market trajectories: the declining cost of launch and the rising demand for AI compute capacity. Proponents argue that space-based data centers, powered by abundant solar energy and released from Earth-based cooling and land-use constraints, could complement terrestrial compute infrastructure as AI workloads scale. Its advancement under a figure of Schmidt’s industry profile suggests the concept is moving from theoretical discussion toward early-stage execution backed by meaningful capital and leadership attention.
Strategic Rationale for Planet Ventures
The investment fits within Planet Ventures’ broader portfolio strategy, which has concentrated on early-stage opportunities across different layers of the space economy. Prior investments include Mantis Space, which is developing orbital energy distribution infrastructure, and Galactic Resource Utilization Space, Inc. (“GRU Space”), focused on cislunar development.
The Relativity Space exposure adds a launch platform and compute-infrastructure component to a portfolio already positioned across orbital energy and lunar habitation segments. It also introduces a late-stage private aerospace position to a portfolio that had previously been concentrated in earlier-stage infrastructure concepts.
“Being invested in a company headed by a great technology founder is a true testament to Planet’s ability to gain exposure to some of the highest-quality private space companies in the world,” said Etienne Moshevich, Chief Executive Officer of Planet Ventures. “This investment aligns with our strategy to support innovative technologies with the potential for outsized value creation.”
A Structural Shift in Private Space Access
The SPV structure that enabled Planet Ventures’ participation reflects a broader pattern in private market access. Investments previously available only to early-stage venture funds or strategic corporate partners are increasingly being structured through vehicles that allow participation at smaller check sizes.
For a publicly traded investment issuer like Planet Ventures, this access creates the ability to build diversified exposure across multiple high-quality private companies without deploying the capital base typically required for direct participation in a late-stage financing round.
The combination of launch platform development, manufacturing automation, and a stated vision for space-based compute infrastructure positions Relativity Space as a different kind of portfolio holding than pure-play launch or pure-play satellite companies. For Planet Ventures, the investment represents both an entry into one of the most closely watched private aerospace companies and a practical demonstration of the access mechanism that made it possible.
For Planet Ventures, the significance of the investment is less about the size of the initial position and more about demonstrating repeatable access to private companies operating at the forefront of the space economy.
