What Spaceship does

Spaceship Capital Limited is an Australian fintech founded in 2016 and headquartered in Sydney, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of eToro Group Limited following its November 2024 acquisition for up to A$80 million. The company operates a cloud-native, mobile-first financial platform targeting everyday Australian retail investors with three core product lines: Spaceship Voyager, a micro-investing app offering five professionally-managed portfolios (Universe, Earth, Origin, Galaxy, Explorer) with no minimum investment; Spaceship Super, a superannuation fund issued via OneSuper (trustee Diversa Trustees Limited) with four investment options (GrowthX, Global Index, Balanced, Moderate); and a US Investing service providing fractional access to US-listed ETFs and stocks from a A$10 minimum.

The platform is built around key technology integrations rather than proprietary infrastructure: Basiq Pty Ltd provides CDR (Consumer Data Right) banking data access that powers the Boosts automation feature (round-ups, payday boost, budget boost); Alpaca Securities LLC provides US brokerage, clearing, and settlement; Zepto Payments Pty Ltd issues the purchased payment facility holding customer funds; and Diversa Trustees Limited acts as superannuation trustee. There is no disclosed developer-facing API, SDK, or AI/ML capability. Distribution is exclusively digital self-serve via iOS, Android, and web, with growth driven by content marketing (Learn platform, weekly newsletter to 200,000+ Australians), paid digital advertising, and a OneLink-based referral attribution model.

The business model is hybrid subscription plus AUM-based: Voyager charges A$3/month (waived below A$100 portfolio balances) plus 0.15-0.50% pa portfolio management fees; Super charges A$78 flat + 0.42-0.55% admin plus 0.095-0.249% investment fees; US Investing charges A$0-4/month plus 0.70% FX per trade. Combined funds under management surpassed A$1.5 billion (September 2024), with Spaceship Super alone reaching A$1 billion FUM in January 2025 across approximately 20,000 active members. The 45-person Sydney team operates under eToro's ownership while retaining the Spaceship brand.

Revenue model

1. Spaceship Voyager Subscription Fees: Monthly subscription fee of $3 charged when any Spaceship Voyager portfolio has a balance of $100 or more. Waived entirely ($0/month) when all portfolios have balances below $100. This single monthly fee covers unlimited investments across one, two, or all five portfolios. This is the primary revenue stream and represents a subscription-recurring model.

Portfolio Management Fees: Annual percentage-based management fees charged on the net asset value of each Spaceship Voyager portfolio: Universe Portfolio 0.50% pa, Earth Portfolio 0.50% pa, Origin Portfolio 0.15% pa, Galaxy Portfolio 0.35% pa, Explorer Portfolio 0.25% pa. Fees are calculated daily and reflected in unit prices. These fees are in addition to the monthly subscription.
3. Spaceship Super Administration and Investment Fees: Spaceship Super charges administration fees ($78 flat + 0.42-0.55% pa depending on option) and investment fees (0.095-0.249% pa depending on option). These are deducted from member account balances. Spaceship Capital acts as promoter while Diversa Trustees Limited acts as trustee.
4. US Investing Subscription and FX Fees: US Investing service charges $0/month for eligible Spaceship Voyager subscribers who have paid their Voyager monthly fee within the last month; otherwise $4/month. Plus a foreign exchange fee of 0.70% per trade. Allows unlimited trades within the subscription.

Broad incumbents

• Betashares: Major Australian ETF provider with a direct-to-consumer platform offering diversified portfolio construction via ETFs. Betashares competes with Spaceship's Origin Portfolio on low-cost indexed exposure and offers institutional-grade scale.
• AustralianSuper: Australia's largest superannuation fund by AUM with millions of members. As an industry super fund, AustralianSuper competes for the same Australian retirement savings dollars as Spaceship Super, with significantly lower fees and broader brand reach.
• eToro: Global multi-asset investment platform with 38M+ registered users and the parent company of Spaceship since November 2024. eToro offers social trading, crypto, and stocks/ETFs; Spaceship's integration gives eToro access to Australian superannuation and micro-investing capabilities.
• Vanguard Australia: Global low-cost investment giant with significant Australian superannuation and retail investment offerings. Vanguard's index funds are often the underlying benchmark for Spaceship's Origin Portfolio and Global Index Super option, and it competes for cost-conscious Australian investors.

Direct peers

• Superhero: Australian low-cost trading platform offering ASX and US share trading with subscription-based pricing. Superhero overlaps with Spaceship's US Investing proposition and competes for the same retail Australian investor segment.
• Stake: Australian commission-free trading platform providing access to US and Australian markets with fractional shares and a subscription model. Stake competes directly with Spaceship's US Investing service and shares a similar millennial-focused, mobile-first GTM motion.
• SelfWealth: Australian flat-fee brokerage offering ASX and US share trading with portfolio tools. SelfWealth competes with Spaceship Voyager on the Australian retail investing side with a flat-fee pricing model that mirrors Spaceship's approach.
• Raiz Invest: Australian micro-investing app offering diversified portfolios with round-ups and fractional investing, targeting the same millennial/Gen Z first-time investor demographic as Spaceship Voyager. Raiz is the closest direct competitor in Australia's micro-investing category.

Regional players

• Acorns: US-based micro-investing pioneer operating round-up and diversified portfolio features in the US market. Acorns is the international archetype for the round-up micro-investing model that Spaceship replicates in Australia, making it a useful comparator for the product category even though it does not directly compete in-market.

Emerging players

• Pearler: Australian long-term investing platform with automated exchange-traded fund portfolios targeting passive, buy-and-hold investors. Pearler competes with Spaceship Voyager's Origin and Explorer portfolios for the long-term wealth-building customer.
