Planet Ventures Inc. (CSE: PXI) (OTC: PNXPF) (FSE: P6U) has announced a USD$125,000 equity investment in MCXGP Relativity Fund I, LLC, a special purpose vehicle that participated in the latest financing round of Relativity Space Inc. The investment, disclosed on April 8, 2026, provides Planet Ventures with exposure to Relativity Space, a private aerospace company led by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt since 2025. Relativity Space is advancing the Terran R fully reusable launch vehicle and exploring orbital data centers optimized for artificial intelligence workloads.
The investment adds to Planet Ventures’ growing space sector portfolio, which previously included exposure to orbital energy infrastructure and cislunar development opportunities. This move reflects a broader trend in the private space sector, where access to late-stage aerospace companies has expanded beyond venture capital firms and strategic corporate investors. Through the emergence of special purpose vehicles and dedicated fund structures, smaller public companies can now participate in financing rounds that were historically out of reach. This shift is redefining how smaller public companies can gain exposure to closely held private aerospace opportunities.
Planet Ventures’ investment strategy focuses on early-stage space companies with high growth potential. The company’s portfolio includes Mantis Space and GRU Space, among others. Tansu Yegen serves as a strategic advisor to Planet Ventures. The company’s forward-looking statements indicate expectations for the projected growth of the global space economy and the anticipated milestones of its portfolio companies.
While the investment is relatively modest at $125,000, it signifies the increasing accessibility of private space ventures. The use of special purpose vehicles allows Planet Ventures to participate in rounds that would otherwise be inaccessible. This model could become more common as the space sector matures and more investment vehicles emerge.
