Nebex, a E-COMMERCE startup building market infrastructure for the $470+ billion space economy, has raised $30 million in seed funding co-led by GV (Google Ventures) and Eniac Ventures, with participation from 2048 Ventures, Better Tomorrow Ventures, Oceans Ventures, AIN Ventures, and others, alongside a new banking relationship with J.P. Morgan. Founded by former Axiom Space CEO Tejpaul Bhatia, who previously orchestrated over $1 billion in commercial space contracts involving sovereign nations, SpaceX, and NASA along with co-founders Anand Subramanian and Italy’s former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Manlio Di Stefano, Nebex’s Nebra Exchange connects U.S. space technology companies, foreign governments buying space capabilities, and institutional investors through a single platform that also handles cross-border payments and financial settlement. The company is deliberately building on conventional financial rails rather than blockchain, a pointed choice in a market where tokenization pitches are common.
