Andrew Sellen co-founded Spaceship with Paul Bennetts, Kaushik Sen and Dave Kuhn. The idea came over beers at the end of 2015. All four had worked in financial services.
Spaceship is a mobile-only superannuation fund weighted to global technology names such as Apple. Members can see their holdings stock by stock. It was built for people who did not want a default fund heavy in Australian banks and miners.
In 2016 the company closed a A$1.6 million seed round in about three days. It was the first startup investment made through Grok Ventures, the fund of Mike Cannon-Brookes. Aconex co-founder Leigh Jasper also invested.
In 2018 ASIC fined the company over its superannuation product statements. In September 2024 eToro acquired Spaceship.
