Why become an investor with IXSAR

Investing × Space, Autonomy & Robotics. At IXSAR Capital, we believe intelligent machines and space infrastructure will redefine how the world operates—across orbit, road, factory, and field. The next decade won’t be incremental; it will be systemic. That’s why we built a focused venture platform for the founders turning hard engineering into enduring companies.

Why now

• Maturing stacks: Sensors, edge compute, perception, planning, and actuation have crossed key reliability and cost thresholds, enabling real deployments—not pilots—in manufacturing, logistics, mobility, and space.

• Infrastructure moment: From in-orbit services and SAR constellations to autonomous systems on the ground, a new backbone is being laid; winners will set standards and capture compounding data advantages.

• Software + hardware flywheel: As models improve and components cheapen, robotics and autonomy become software businesses with recurring revenue, not one-off integrators.
  

Why IXSAR

1) Focus that compounds We concentrate exclusively on Space Technology, Autonomy, and Robotics. That focus sharpens our pattern recognition, speeds diligence, and grows the right customer and talent networks.

2) Operator-grade company building Capital is necessary—but insufficient. We help with first-customer access, GTM design for complex sales, dual-use/government pathways, manufacturing and supply chain, safety/verification strategy, and key hiring.

3) High-conviction portfolio construction We prefer a concentrated core with meaningful ownership and disciplined follow-ons. The goal: back fewer companies, lean in harder, and earn the right to support them from zero to scale.

4) Technical + commercial diligence Our underwriting starts with physics and unit economics: Does the system work at required performance? Can it be manufactured and supported at target gross margins? Is there a repeatable wedge with clear ROI for the buyer?

5) Co-invest access Where appropriate, we create room for LPs to co-invest alongside core positions, providing selective exposure to breakout rounds while keeping fund discipline.

6) Alignment and transparency We are builders at heart. We publish our thesis, share our pipeline themes, and operate with clear communication to portfolio founders and LPs.

What we invest in

• Space infrastructure: communications, sensing (incl. SAR), autonomy in-orbit, ground segment software.

• Autonomy stacks: perception → planning → control, safety/validation, on-device/edge AI.

• Robotics: industrial and logistics systems, field robotics, precision agriculture, and enabling components (actuators, power, tooling).

Stages: typically pre-seed through Series A with reserves for follow-on.

How we work with founders

• Fast, fair decisions. Clear timelines and partner access during diligence.

• Hands-on help. Customer intros (enterprise/OEMs/integrators), pricing & packaging, certification/regulatory, and supply chain.

• Talent network. We help close the first 10 critical hires across engineering, product, and GTM.

• Long-term partners. We stay engaged through scale—because hard tech is a journey.

What investors get with IXSAR

• Exposure to the frontier without spreading across unrelated themes.

• A repeatable sourcing engine built around deep ecosystems: aerospace, mobility, industrial automation, and defense/dual-use.

• Structured risk management: staged capital deployment, milestone-based reserves, and rigorous post-investment metrics to guide follow-ons.

• Selective co-investments where fit and velocity warrant it.

Our diligence lens (at a glance)

• Technical feasibility at target TRL and cost

• Manufacturability & supply chain resilience

• Unit economics, payback, and ROI vs status quo

• Market entry wedge and regulatory path

• Data advantage and defensibility over time

• Team quality, velocity, and learning cadence

The IXSAR difference in one line

We back technical teams building systems that actually ship—then help them scale into category owners.
