Luke Nosek / Gigafund
Luke Nosek — PayPal co-founder, Founders Fund co-founder (with Thiel and Howery), and the first VC to back SpaceX (2008); SpaceX board member since then. Left Founders Fund in 2017 to start Gigafund (with Stephen Oskoui), a fund built around SpaceX.
The original SpaceX believer — first-check VC in 2008, board member ever since, then founder of Gigafund expressly to keep funding SpaceX (>$1B deployed since 2017). His personal SpaceX stake was valued ~$4.45B at the June 2026 SPCX IPO, with Gigafund's holding 'almost certainly worth more.' Beyond space he sits on the board of AI-hardware firm Luminous Computing and was an early DeepMind board director — a space + AI-compute-hardware profile.
