Summary

Spaceship is an Australian financial technology company that aims to transform the investment experience for young Australians by partnering with Alpaca, a developer-first API brokerage platform. Founded in 2016, Spaceship has established itself as a visionary in the field of financial technology and has introduced several innovative products such as Spaceship Super and Spaceship Voyager managed funds. The company's mission is to make investing not just a financial activity but a journey of discovery, guided by forward-thinking, accessibility, curiosity, transparency, and straightforwardness. With its recent addition of US Investing in September 2023, Spaceship has expanded its offerings substantially. The partnership with Alpaca has enabled Spaceship to offer localized currency experience for Australian customers who wish to invest in the US markets, eliminating the need for complex FX conversions. Through this integration, Spaceship has enhanced its investment solution by crafting a seamless experience, powering real-time trading for AUD, syncing and updating assets, and providing customer-centric success through user feedback and continuous improvement.
