Investing in remarkable founders of color
who drive change, innovation and impact.

South Loop Ventures

The past month has been epic at Astronaut!

📈 We doubled our revenue.
🧑🏾‍🚀 We debuted at the CMX conference and stole the show in our astronaut suits. 
🍽️ We hosted a dinner with some of the most inspiring community leaders in the industry. 
🚀 We shipped three of our most requested features: Shareable Reports, Engagement Heatmaps, and Top Discussions.
👾 We onboarded one of the world's top 3 largest Discord communities.

And we're only just getting started!

I'm excited to welcome our new Head of Growth, Victoria Liang 👩🏻‍🚀, Head of Design, Joshua Butts, and Senior Software Engineer, Jason Crider, who are absolutely crushing it! 🔥

If you're an Astronaut competitor, yes, you should be worried.

Lastly, a huge shout-out to all our early supporters, advisors, and customers for making all this possible. We love you! ♥️
