Axiom Space has raised $350 million in a financing round to advance its commercial space station and next-generation spacesuits for NASA’s Artemis lunar missions. The round, co-led by Qatar Investment Authority and Type One Ventures, also saw participation from investors including 1789 Capital, 4iG, LuminArx Capital, and company founder and Executive Chairman Kam Ghaffarian. CEO Jonathan Cirtain, appointed in October 2025, confirmed the company remains on track to deliver the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit spacesuits for upcoming Artemis missions, as Axiom positions itself to build the successor to the International Space Station.
FOUNDER: Kam Ghaffarian
INVESTORS: Qatar Investment Authority, Type One Ventures, 1789 Capital, 4iG, LuminArx Capital Management & Kam Ghaffarian
AMOUNT: $350,000,000

Space isn’t waiting for its moment. It’s building it.
Just like AI transformed software through scale, speed, and reuse, the next leap in space will come from rapid orbital reusability and onboard intelligence. Lower costs, faster iteration, and entirely new business models are emerging once space becomes infrastructure, not a one off mission.
This feels like an inflection point. The kind that reshapes who builds, who invests, and who leads what comes next.

Two years ago, when most of the market was still fixated on model scale and training theatrics, our investors kept asking “why are you betting so big in Groq (an NVIDIA competitor?” The second question was “are tier 1s investing?” Neither of those points were the basis of our investment, our true conviction was that inference—latency, determinism, and cost at scale—would be the true constraint in AI regardless of NVIDIA’s dominance. We went deep not because it was fashionable to others, but because the hardware bottlenecks and economics pointed there.
Two years on, that conviction has proven foundational. The industry is now recognizing what was always inevitable: real-world AI is an infrastructure problem, and the hardest problems sit below the software layer. NVIDIA had to decide whether (a) Jonathan and Groq could both be a meaningful competitor or (b) a meaningful partner, and they clearly decided the latter.
The progress of Groq reflects the payoff of making hard architectural bets early and building for deployment, not demos. Building with understanding the voids in marketplaces and understanding that complexity is not always the solution. Look and adapting to the supply chain around you, incentivizing those around you and building with intention.
Congratulations to the Jonathan Ross , Mohsen Moazami , Sunny Madra , and the Groq team for executing with clarity and discipline as the market caught up.
Congrats to our team Type One Ventures for another successful outcome!
At Type One Ventures, we back founders tackling foundational systems that shape how the world is built. Cuby exemplifies this thesis by reimagining the tools that build our physical environment.
We are proud to support Cuby as they unveil their short film, offering a first look at Mobile Micro-Factories and how they are redefining construction at scale. These factory-in-a-box systems enable faster, more localized homebuilding while reducing dependency on traditional skilled labor and unlocking major gains in cost, productivity, and efficiency.
