The $36 Billion Empire Built in a Garage

In 2025, Rocket Lab’s market cap hit $36 billion, validating a journey that started in a New Zealand garage. Peter Beck didn't have a national space industry to learn from; he taught himself rocketry, sketched his logo on a napkin, and built the first private company in the Southern Hemisphere to reach space. This is the story of how systems that "learn faster than they fail" created the world's most proven small launch vehicle. #RocketLab #RKLB #SpaceInvesting If you’re driven by the potential of space technologies, Space Capital is your launchpad into the multi-trillion-dollar space economy.
