🚀 SpaceChallenge 2025 Cohort 01 — Applications Now Closed

Applications are now closed for the inaugural SpaceChallenge — and the response has been extraordinary.

From across the Five Eyes alliance, we’ve heard from bold founders building the future of space:
Orbital infrastructure. Lunar ops. In-space autonomy. Climate intelligence from orbit. Energy independence for spacecraft.

The first cohort is now being reviewed.

Finalists will be selected to pitch live to our panel of investors, national security leaders, and veteran space operators. Winners will receive:

• 💰 $25K+ in curated non-dilutive capital, in-kind services and strategic support

• 🧑‍⚖️ Legal, tax, and fundraising advisory from top-tier firms

• 🛰️ Mentorship from deeptech veterans across NASA, SpaceX, and defence

• 🌐 Direct access to HUMANUS.VC’s founder-first capital network

🔭 What’s Next

This was only the beginning.

We’re expanding SpaceChallenge to spotlight and accelerate frontier founders across new verticals, new geographies, and new missions in space. If you missed this cycle:
