• our mission

To make Earth radically more accessible by turning space into a global logistics network.

Just as the advent of aircraft transformed the sky into a medium for transportation, Inversion is pioneering a new domain by turning space into a global logistics network. History shows that those who embrace step-changes in transportation – sea, rail, air – set the rules and prosper. Today, the same opportunity exists in space, and Inversion is determined the ensure the U.S. maintains its lead, just as it did with aviation a century ago. By utilizing Low-Earth Orbit as an on-demand logistics network, we expand global responsiveness, strengthen deterrence, and lay the foundation for a new era of security and prosperity enabled by space.

• founding story

The year was 2021. Rocket launches were becoming increasingly routine. As aerospace engineers at SpaceX and ABL, roommates Justin Fiaschetti and Austin Briggs witnessed this firsthand. Rockets were carrying more mass to orbit at lower costs – but almost nothing was coming back down. They asked: what if orbit wasn’t just a destination, but a platform? One that could span the planet and enable transportation across Earth at unprecedented speed and scale. The idea was too powerful to ignore. They left their jobs and turned their garage into the headquarters of Inversion. Over the next four years, they went through Y Combinator, raised $44 million, secured a $71 million Space Force contract, and built a spacecraft that successfully went to orbit. Today, Inversion is a 60-person team with a 55,000-square-foot facility in Los Angeles and a dedicated test site in the Mojave Desert.
