Nebex
Exchange and financial infrastructure connecting space companies with sovereign buyers
Last verified August 17, 2026 · Updated daily
What Nebex is building
Nebex is building the Nebra Exchange, a marketplace and financial-settlement layer for the space industry. The problem: selling space technology across borders is tangled in export controls, tariffs, and national-security reviews, and space founders delivering sovereign government programs face brutal revenue and cash-flow gaps because the capital-markets infrastructure that smooths this in other industries simply doesn't exist for space. For decades, the industry ran as a closed loop of big contractors and government contracts; the ISS was partly run on barter, trading hardware for crew time. Nebex connects three parties: space companies selling technology, foreign governments and sovereign space agencies buying capabilities, and investors willing to finance the deals. It takes a fee on closed transactions and handles cross-border payments and settlement, with J.P. Morgan as the banking partner. Explicitly no crypto or blockchain component. Target deal size is around $100M and up.
Why this matters
GV leading a $30M seed for a pre-launch fintech is a founder bet, and the founder justifies it: Tejpaul Bhatia was CEO of Axiom Space (the company building the first commercial space station) and brings what the release calls a $1B+ track record in commercial space deals with sovereign governments, SpaceX, and NASA. GV partner Erik Nordlander's quote: 'Tejpaul is a rare founder who actually knows how to move fast in a heavy, high-friction industry like space.' GV has form here — it got in early on infrastructure plays like Pipe and Alt before their markets matured. The timing hook is SpaceX's recent IPO, which pulled a wave of public-market money toward space and made 'space as an asset class' a live conversation. The honest risks, which TNW flagged: the platform hasn't launched, brokering deals between governments and defense-adjacent firms is legally heavy work, and the model is unproven until the first deal settles.

250+Hiring outlook
A $30M seed for a pre-launch company with a hard end-of-year launch deadline means they need to build the entire Nebra Exchange platform in roughly six months. That's an aggressive engineering hiring window right now. The catch: this is a deals-and-relationships business at its core, so the engineering team will likely stay lean while BD and compliance hires carry equal weight.

How to actually get hired at Nebex
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Nebex runs an applicant tracking system, but hiring managers still work referrals first. A cold application to Nebex isn't dead, it's just fourth in line behind internal referrals, sourced candidates and recruiter pipelines.
Who to contact at Nebex
What to show them
Experience building money movement at scale: cross-border payments, settlement systems, escrow, treasury infrastructure, or marketplace payment rails (Stripe Connect-style platforms, B2B payment startups, or bank infrastructure). Familiarity with the compliance surface of international transactions (sanctions screening, KYB) is a major plus given their buyer base is foreign governments.
A cold email that works at Nebex
What Nebex screens for
Knowing the co-founder lineup shows real research: Anand Subramanian founded ContextWeb and NimbleTV (venture-backed exchanges — the exchange-building experience Bhatia lacks), and Manlio Di Stefano, VP Global Markets, is the former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, which is the geopolitical access this business runs on. Bhatia's own line explains the wedge: space founders 'struggle to deliver complex sovereign programs due to the lack of capital markets infrastructure that supports revenue and cashflow.' Bonus depth: at Axiom he personally drove the industry's first sovereign government purchases of private astronaut missions (Ax-1 through Ax-4).
A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Nebex's job description language to clear filters.
Don't make these mistakes
Don't pitch this as a space company; it's a fintech company that happens to serve space, and candidates who show up talking about rockets rather than settlement, escrow, and cross-border payments will look like they misread the product. Also don't suggest crypto rails; they've explicitly and publicly ruled that out.
Mistakes that kill Nebex applications
Generic CVs stand out at a -person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Skip 'I'm looking for...' — start with GV leading a $30M seed for a pre-launch fintech is a founder bet, and the founder justifies it: Tejpaul Bhatia was CEO of Axiom Space (the company building the first commercial space station) and brings what the release calls a $1B+ track record in commercial space deals with sovereign governments, SpaceX, and NASA and your specific angle on solving it.
