"Bringing private space-economy investments to retail investors through a public market vehicle"

Fund Manager

Biography

Etienne Moshevich is the CEO of Planet Ventures Inc. (CSE: PXI / OTC: PNXPF), a publicly traded company that gives retail investors access to private space-economy companies before they reach public markets. His mandate focuses on identifying early-stage aerospace and space-technology firms and packaging that exposure into a vehicle available to ordinary shareholders.

Moshevich's central investment thesis is straightforward: by the time marquee private space companies like SpaceX go public, the steepest growth has often already been captured by early private backers. Planet Ventures' portfolio reflects this approach, with holdings including Relativity Space Inc. (3D-printed rockets), Mantis Space Corp., Antaris Inc. (satellite software), Galactic Resource Utilization Space Inc. (in-space resource extraction), and General Astronautics. The company trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol PXI.

Among Planet's holdings, Galactic Resource Utilization Space Inc. stands out as the most directly relevant to commodity investors. The company is focused on in-space resource utilization — extracting and processing materials in space rather than on Earth. This places Moshevich at an emerging intersection of mining and aerospace, where the long-term thesis involves identifying and accessing mineral deposits beyond terrestrial constraints.

Moshevich evaluates opportunities by looking for private companies with what he describes as significant torque — meaning the potential for outsized returns relative to capital invested. He targets sectors still in early commercial stages where retail investors typically lack access, positioning Planet Ventures as a bridge between private space innovation and public-market participation. Investors following his views should note that this is a high-risk, early-stage approach focused on capital appreciation rather than near-term cash flow.

How Planet Ventures ($PXI | $PNXPF) Gives Investors Exposure to Private Space Companies

guest Jul 17, 2026
  • Top takeaway He argues space is only at its beginning and could end up bigger than AI, because everything done on Earth can eventually be done in space.
  • He says Planet's edge is access and vetting rather than capital: the strongest private space rounds go to a select few venture funds and angels early, so ordinary investors need a public vehicle to get in.
  • He warns that individual investors in private space companies mostly get diluted out unless they keep writing new checks, and that finding one SpaceX-type winner can take 20 to 30 holdings.
  • His stated rule is never to be the only check; he invests alongside much larger, deeper-pocketed funds and checks whether a company can still afford to run, because most die from running out of money rather than bad ideas.
  • He expects satellite telecom to disrupt decades-old carriers, citing Canada's three big providers, because satellite delivery would be cheaper, faster and reach anyone at no cost.

Planet Ventures gives retail shareholders exposure to private space companies that venture firms and wealthy angels typically absorb. The CEO argues space mining, orbital data centers and satellite broadband are the growth frontiers his listed vehicle is built to fund. His thesis: a $50,000 retail stake can reach 10-40 private holdings instead of five, though dilution remains the structural cost. Screening rule for early-stage deals: co-invest alongside deep-pocketed backers and check whether raised cash covers the next few years. Planet grew from about $5 million to roughly $20 million in cash and assets, and raised another $5 million months before this interview.

Key Quotes

"Retail investors typically only get access to companies like SpaceX once they're public and already trading at very large valuations. Planet is in a unique position to invest in private space companies that we believe have significant torque and provide our shareholders exposure to those private investments."
