When Spaceship introduced its first product in January 2017, we had just a small team of a few people. Step by step, we’ve grown. Spaceship now has Spaceship Super and Spaceship Voyager, 85,000 customers, $420 million in funds under management, and 45 employees.
This week, we announced that Spaceship had raised a further $10 million from its shareholders, with participation from key investors such as Mike and Annie Cannon-Brookes' Grok Ventures and AirTree Ventures.
With this funding, we’ll continue to expand and improve our core product offerings and customer experience.
Over the last few years — but perhaps especially in 2020 — we’ve been so inspired by the way our customers (you!) have used Spaceship to invest in their future. And as we always say, this isn’t just about financial investment.
Though we’ve seen up to 300 new customers a day this year, we’ve also seen more people than ever turn to our Spaceship Learn blog to read about personal finance or check out our Real Money Talk series. Likewise, thousands of people read this very newsletter or open up the Spaceship app each day to check out the latest financial news from around the world.
We’ve also seen more of you (over 43,000 now!) set up a regular investment plan, giving you the ability to grow your balance in a simple, automated way. At a time when we’re perhaps not as free to spend money on other things in life, this hopefully helps you feel you’re taking more control of your financial future!
With that, we wanted to say thank you for joining the Spaceship journey.
We’ll keep working to fulfil our mission of enabling people to invest in their future. We’re so excited for what is to come — and we hope you are too!
