Charter Space

Charter is building Ubik, the first collaborative ‘full-stack’ program, requirements, and logistics management OS specifically designed to support spacecraft and complex systems development to minimize engineering hours being wasted on manual admin. Ubik is the toolbox that gives space companies and engineering teams what they need to build and iterate fast, with minimal risk of errors, so they can reduce lead times and minimize upfront technical debt, CapEx, and long-run OpEx. Their team is providing the core information infrastructure to make launching spacecraft simple, and become the foundational layer on which the entire space industry runs, grows, and thrives. The space industry has largely been uninterrupted since the Cold War and that includes the software that NASA and many institutions run their programs on. Model: B2B/B2G; SaaS subscriptions between $25k-100k/year for SMEs and Startups + enterprise pricing $3-600K+ for ‘New Space’ enterprises $1.5-4M+ for Tier 1s/OEMs/Govt/Military); transaction take rates on procured services (launch, insurance, ground station) and GMV.
