Nebex raises $30m seed investment for the space economy

Chimera readability score 78 out of 100, Expert reading level.

Nebex, a market infrastructure platform for the global space economy, has raised $30m in seed funding led by Google Ventures (GV), as well as establishing a banking relationship with J.P. Morgan to support the expansion of its platform.
The funding, which was also supported by unnamed ‘top-tier’ venture funds, will enable Nebex to connect sovereign space programmes with commercial space companies, providing financial infrastructure designed to improve access to capital and reduce friction around government contracting.
The launch comes as the commercial space sector continues to evolve beyond traditional government programs, creating demand for financial infrastructure that helps companies to scale alongside public and private investment.
Nebex connects space companies with sovereign buyers and the capital required to support the development of new technologies.
Founded in 2025 by former Axiom Space CEO Tejpaul Bhatia alongside entrepreneur Anand Subramanian and former Italian vice minister of foreign affairs Manlio Di Stefano, Nebex is building what it describes as the financial backbone for the emerging global space economy.
Nebex CEO Tejpaul Bhatia said many space companies continue to face barriers accessing the financial infrastructure available. “We built Nebex because we’ve seen firsthand that ambitious space founders struggle to deliver complex sovereign programmes due to the lack of capital markets infrastructure that supports revenue and cashflow,” Bhatia said.
“Support from these organisations gives Nebex the additional leverage and financial infrastructure to build the global space economy at the scale it demands.”
Alongside the funding, Nebex announced a banking relationship with J.P. Morgan to support its next phase of growth.
J.P. Morgan market executive, innovation economy, applied tech Aneeka Sajid said the commercial space sector has reached an important stage of development. “The space economy is at an inflection point, and founders like Tejpaul and his team are building essential infrastructure that expands access and accelerates innovation across the ecosystem,” Sajid said.
