Karman

We are inventors designers engineers scientists tinkerers entrepreneurs adventurers artists activists global citizens architects musicians builders writers athletes and space nerds. We partner with the best minds and most experienced teams across industry and academia bringing together the knowledge experience and skills required to navigate our critical path.

Mission

We want to mine space resources from near-Earth asteroids to provide abundant sustainable energy and resources in space and for Earth.

Vision

Asteroid mining has lived at the intersection of scientific research and popular culture for decades with as many academic papers published as there are books TV shows and movies about it.

Access to resources with its finite nature and disparate distribution plays an essential part in the geopolitical web of power and wealth. It has defined economic growth to such an extent that we have been using them as primary demarcation lines and identifiers in our history from the stone to bronze and iron age to our current silicon age.

But our resources-driven growth faces a massive existential challenge with climate change ecosystem degradation and resource depletion demanding a complete reset. Humanity needs to shift global transportation manufacturing construction and energy onto a sustainable path.

Expanding beyond the Kármán line is where we believe transformative future growth and innovation will be found. Recent missions by NASA (OSIRIS-REx & DART) and JAXA (Hayabusa2) have firmly pushed the idea of using space resources from academic research into commercial opportunity.

We believe the Regolith Age powered by abundant space resources is an inevitability that we can accelerate.

We value these principles :

• Diversity of thought . We believe that different perspectives drive better results. We aim to build diverse teams and a diverse company.
• Ownership feedback and accountability. Ideas improve through collaboration discussion and iteration. Decisions dont follow the same pattern and revert to the mean when made in a group. We aim to have clear ownership accountability for results and autonomy to deliver.
• No silos. We build cross-functional teams to be able to deliver on our goals. There are no predefined lanes for people to operate in information is pushed out across all teams to make sure we benefit from cross-pollination.
• High talent bar no a
• holes. We optimize for potential and a growth mindset. We value experience but only when balanced with self-awareness and first principles thinking.
• Small is beautiful. The best results as well as the best work experience come from a small team of talented people working towards a common goal.
