Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Spacewalk VC?
Founder Zièd Bahrouni and General Partners Marie Tai and Daniel Weiß set the investment strategy. The firm’s website lists Bahrouni and Tai as the most senior named decision-makers, supported by a large venture-partner bench that contributes technical and market diligence.
How does Spacewalk VC source proprietary deal flow?
The firm’s competitive edge is eigenblue, its integrated R&D company. eigenblue works across industries and technology verticals, giving Spacewalk VC early visibility into shifting demand and which technologies are best positioned to meet it. After an investment, eigenblue’s customer network creates distribution opportunities for portfolio companies.
What investment stages does Spacewalk VC typically target?
Spacewalk VC invests at pre-seed and seed. The firm states that if a company’s valuation, R&D risk, and traction are aligned, stage labels matter less — but its core focus is the earliest commercial phase for frontier-technology companies.
Which sectors does Spacewalk VC explicitly avoid?
The firm draws a hard line at “application engineering” — software built on top of existing platforms or models without a novel technical moat. Spacewalk VC backs what it calls “four key frontiers”: Next-Gen AI beyond LLMs, Future of Compute hardware, Intelligent Automation of the physical world, and National Technology Sovereignty infrastructure.
Does Spacewalk VC invest in hardware companies?
Yes. The firm states explicitly, “We don’t discriminate against hardware.” Portfolio companies such as Polaris (hypersonic spaceplanes), Greenjets (electronic propulsion), and MegaCool Technologies (cooling systems) confirm a willingness to back capital-intensive physical technologies.
How is Spacewalk VC related to eigenblue?
eigenblue is Spacewalk VC’s wholly owned R&D company. It operates as both a deal-origination engine — identifying technology shifts early — and a post-investment distribution partner, giving portfolio companies access to a network of industrial customers. The relationship is the core structural differentiator of the fund.
Is Spacewalk VC a single-partner firm or a team-based one?
The firm lists three named General Partners — Zièd Bahrouni, Marie Tai, and Daniel Weiß — alongside ten Venture Partners and two Analysts. While Bahrouni is the Founder, the published structure suggests a collegial investment committee draw on the broader venture-partner group.
