Founded by former SpaceX engineers Noah Schochet and Noah McGuinness, TerraFirma was inspired by a lesson they learned at Starbase: getting to Mars is not only a rocket problem—it is a construction problem. The company’s mission is embedded in its name: prove the technology on solid ground here on Earth, then take it everywhere humans build next.
We’re excited to lead TerraFirma’s Series A and partner with the team as they help power American reindustrialization—and build the machines that may one day help humanity expand beyond Earth.
