Notability?

[edit]

I'm sceptical this topic meets notability standards, particularly WP:NCORP. The only thing that's preventing me from raising an AfD discussion is the regular report which Space Capital produces - it seems to be seen as authoritative and often quoted in the scientific press. I'd be interested in other opinions. Sionk (talk) 01:18, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chadson space - you seem to have used the wrong edit request template here. "Edit Semi-protected" is for pages with elevated page protection levels. (Which this one isn't.) You're looking for "COI Edit Request." More info: WP:ER. PianoDan (talk) 17:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you -- much appreciated Chadson space (talk) 17:09, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed edits

[edit]

I’m the Managing Partner of Space Capital and I would like to request several changes to our page.

Lead paragraph:

Revise the first sentence and replace the references to:

Revise the second sentence and replace the references to:

  • Space Capital is the parent brand of Space Angels, an online investment platform, and Space Talent, a career platform and central node for jobs in the space economy.[4][5][6][7]
 Not done not convinced that a long list of companies backed makes sense as the second sentence of the lead, otherwise this seems functionally identical to the existing. Rusalkii (talk) 05:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History section:

We are proposing a new section after History called Publications. Move current paragraphs #2 and #3 from History under the new section Publications (placed last on the page). That concludes the content for the new Publications section.

 Done Rusalkii (talk) 04:13, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the History section, please insert the following paragraphs and references prior to the current opening paragraph:

  • Originally founded in 2007 as an angel investor network, the firm’s scale was limited by its informal structure.[8]
  • In 2012, Chad Anderson became CEO and by 2015 transitioned Space Angels away from the decentralized investing model typical of angel networks, which Anderson claimed was “inefficient at best, dysfunctional at worst.”[8] In 2015, Anderson re-founded the company and launched its first special purpose vehicle (SPV) fund.[8][9][10]
 Done. Except I removed the quote. Rusalkii (talk) 04:13, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After inserting the above paragraphs, the current opening paragraph should now be the third paragraph in the section. Update the text and references to:

  • In 2017, Space Capital[8][11] launched its first institutional venture capital fund of $16 million, with Tom Ingersoll joining as partner.[12] The firm has since grown to three funds and over $100 million under management.[13][14][15] Their investments are focused on space-based technologies such as GPS, geospatial intelligence, and satellite communications.[16]
 Done

Remove the Satellite Today reference from the last paragraph in the section that begins “On May 5, 2020…”

 Not done, I don't understand why you want this source removed. Rusalkii (talk) 04:13, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update the last paragraph to:

  • In 2020, Space Capital formalized its brand architecture with Space Capital as the parent brand and Space Angels, an online angel investment platform, and Space Talent, a career platform and central node for space industry jobs, as its sub-brands.[6]
 Partly done, didn't remove the source, as above. Rusalkii (talk) 04:13, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! In one of these edits, you added a footnote named ":12", but no citation exists with that name. Mabe you meant ":1", but I guess there could be some other problem. Can you clarify your intent, or maybe make a fix directly? -- mikeblas (talk) 17:14, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi mikeblas, here is the correct reference:
Temkin, Marina (2019-07-11). "Twin funds Space Capital and Space Angels are betting commercial space sector takes off" < https://www.venturecapitaljournal.com/twin-funds-space-capital-and-space-angels-are-betting-commercial-space-sector-takes-off/>. Venture Capital Journal. Retrieved 2024-10-11.
The existing reference ":5" is also an applicable reference here. Chadson space (talk) 12:09, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
