Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Explorer1 Fund?
The firm has not publicly named its individual investment decision-makers. Its website describes a collective team that includes former NASA JPL personnel, aerospace engineers from Boeing and Blue Origin, and professionals with over 20 years of combined institutional investing experience across early-stage venture and public equities.
Where is Explorer1 Fund's capital deployed geographically?
The firm has not disclosed a geographic mandate beyond its headquarters on Angelus Place in Venice, California. Given the concentration of aerospace activity in Southern California and the team's institutional backgrounds, US-based space companies are the most natural deployment assumption.
Does Explorer1 Fund disclose its assets under management?
No. The firm does not publicly report its AUM, fund size, or total capital deployed. Its public-facing materials focus on team credentials and investment philosophy rather than financial scale.
