The global space economy is entering a new phase. Falling launch costs, reusable rockets, and a surge of private investment are turning what was once the domain of governments into a rapidly expanding commercial sector. From space stations to asteroid mining, a new generation of companies is pushing the frontier of what is possible beyond Earth.
One unlikely participant in this new space race comes from Taiwan. Outliers Fund, founded by Poseidon Ho, has emerged as one of the few venture capital firms in Asia focusing directly on the commercial space industry. The firm recently invested in Vast Space, a company building commercial space stations, and AstroForge, a startup aiming to mine platinum-group metals from asteroids.
As the commercial space sector accelerates, Outliers Fund represents a rare example of a Taiwanese venture firm quietly positioning itself at the frontier of the space economy.
