Inversion capsules turn space into a transportation layer for Earth.
Our Story
Inversion was born in our garage in Los Angeles in 2021, when we realized that by creating low-cost re-entry vehicles, we could unlock brand new markets and harness the peculiarity of space. We took Inversion through Y Combinator in the summer of 2021, resulting in funding from amazing partners that enabled the rapid scaling up of the team and facilities. We are incredibly proud of the team, with each member demonstrating not only excellence in their technical domain, but also a "founder mentality" that is critical to Inversion's progress and future. We are building Inversion not because we love space, but because we believe that the advancement of humanity occurs when decades of technical improvements are uniquely packaged with a clear vision of the future. For Inversion, that means making space a transportation layer for Earth.
