Seraphim Space Investment Trust (LSE:SSIT) highlighted strong investment activity across its portfolio in its February newsletter, with several portfolio companies securing new funding and forming strategic partnerships as momentum builds in the SpaceTech sector.
Among the most notable developments, weather intelligence company Tomorrow.io raised $175 million at a unicorn valuation to accelerate deployment of its AI-driven weather satellite constellation. Meanwhile, SatVu secured £30 million in NATO-backed funding to expand its thermal imaging satellite network focused on Earth observation and security applications.
Additional portfolio-related progress included D-Orbit partnering with ELT Group on space initiatives in Saudi Arabia, while Voyager’s Starlab project continues building an ecosystem for in-orbit manufacturing and bioprinting. Other collaborations involving companies such as Xona, Skylo and AST SpaceMobile are advancing technologies including resilient satellite navigation, hybrid satellite-enabled Internet of Things connectivity and direct-to-device broadband services.
Beyond developments within its portfolio, Seraphim Space also announced that it has exceeded the $100 million fundraising target for its new early-stage venture fund. The milestone lifts the firm’s total assets under management above $550 million and strengthens its position as a specialist investor supporting emerging companies in the global space technology sector.
The newsletter also pointed to wider industry developments, including SpaceX’s acquisition of xAI, which reflects growing convergence between artificial intelligence and space infrastructure. Seraphim executives have also increased their participation in industry podcasts and conferences, reinforcing the firm’s visibility and influence in discussions around the strategic importance of space-based technologies.
Despite the sector momentum, the company’s outlook remains influenced by weak financial quality, including ongoing negative operating cash flow and valuation-driven earnings volatility, although the balance sheet remains debt-free. Technical indicators are currently supportive with a strong upward trend, though momentum suggests the shares may be becoming stretched. Valuation analysis remains limited due to the absence of meaningful P/E and dividend yield metrics.
