At Spaceship, we're on a mission to transform the way people think about and invest their money. We started in 2017 with Spaceship Super - the super fund that invests in where the world is going. In 2018 we launched Spaceship Voyager, which is making investing easy for everyone with three professionally-managed growth portfolios. And in 2023, we launched a new US Investing service with an innovative Australian dollar experience.

Since launch, we have grown to more than 200,000 financial members and surpassed $1.3 billion in funds under management – but we're just getting started.
