The Frontier Formal : Venice- Building the Space Economy

VENICE, ITALY – May 15, 2025 – In the city that once transformed a swamp into a global gateway, Type One Ventures gathered today to celebrate a new generation of pioneers redefining the boundaries of our universe. From low Earth orbit to the lunar surface and beyond, these founders are not just building companies, they are sculpting humanity’s next chapter.

Among the torch-bearers spotlighted were:

• Axiom Space, engineering the next home in orbit
• Gravitics Inc, laying the foundation for scalable space infrastructure
• Lunar Outpost, enabling mobility on the Moon
• Space Forge and BioOrbit, creating materials in orbit that challenge terrestrial limits
• Prada Group, designing suits for the edge of space — and the future of spacefaring elegance

“These companies treat gravity and convention as negotiable,” said Abdo John Hajj, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Type One Ventures. “We back them because their eyes already reflect the future. Each partnership we announced today adds a new wick to a flame no darkness can smother.” At Type One Ventures, we believe the technologies shaping tomorrow are built not only on the breakthroughs of scientific giants, but also on the quiet strength of personal histories. Every founder carries the legacy of those who came before them — the families, mentors, and communities that shaped their vision. To us, the frontier is not a location on a map. It is a shared mindset: one rooted in gratitude, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of progress.

Type One Ventures celebrated its growing ecosystem of trailblazers with a call to keep that frontier spirit alive:

• In boardrooms, when spreadsheets say “not yet”
• On factory floors, when tolerances whisper “impossible”
• In parliaments, when budgets blink

The firm extends heartfelt gratitude to its team, partners, investors, and friends for proving one thing beyond doubt: curiosity is still the best fuel.

Let’s keep exploring, together.
