About us
Seraphim Space Accelerator is the UK’s first dedicated accelerator programme for start-ups in the SpaceTech industry. Launched by Seraphim Space, the world’s leading venture capital firm specialising exclusively in SpaceTech investment, Space Space Accelerator is backed by both the UK and European Space Agencies as well as by corporate partners such as Dentons, ESA. Airbus and NSSIF. Taking a “VC-mindset” approach to the accelerator concept, the founders of Seraphim Space Accelerator believe that investability should be a prerequisite for companies’ participation in the programme, not the endgame. The Seraphim Space Accelerator value proposition is designed to attract the ‘best of breed‘ high growth technology companies that are best addressing the biggest challenges facing corporates and the wider SpaceTech industry, and to support them in achieving commercial scale by creating tangible outcomes beyond simply funding. Seraphim Space Accelerator is creating an ecosystem and community support network to ensure that participating start-ups are equipped to maintain their accelerated growth beyond the completion of the programme, providing mentoring from more established companies from the Seraphim Space portfolio, opportunities to work with invested corporate partners on proof of concepts and other technology integrations, and ongoing access to facilities and resources in locations around the world.

ReOrbit has just secured Europe’s largest ever SpaceTech Series A: a €45m raise to scale manufacturing and meet surging defence demand. It's a very proud moment for the Seraphim Space Accelerator. ReOrbit joined our Mission 10 cohort in 2022 and has since grown into a European leader in dual-use satellites, delivering secure, sovereign communications and intelligence capabilities. This milestone highlights two powerful trends: 1. The critical importance of strategic autonomy in today’s geopolitical climate. 2. Growing investor conviction in dual-use SpaceTech built from strong regional ecosystems. Congratulations to the team on this landmark raise, another clear signal of Europe’s role in shaping the future of space and defence.
