Industrializing space. Rewilding Earth.
The Extraterrestrial Group of Companies is the financial engine for humanity's next Great Progression.
Essential industries are moving off-planet. Extraterrestrial is creating, financing and building the infrastructure that makes that possible, and ensuring that the surplus it generates restores the world we are leaving behind. We integrate and invest in deep space technology companies, the enabling infrastructure they build, and resource extraction and human base development platforms that form the industrial backbone of the deep space economy. The returns fund the largest privately endowed ecological restoration initiative in history.

Three platforms. One thesis.
The deep space economy requires the same foundation every industrial economy has required: power, data, communications, navigation, logistics, and the rule of law. We are building that foundation. In various Earth orbits, Lagrange points, on the Moon, Mars, and in the Asteroid Belt. Through three coordinated development platforms.
01 Industrializing
Developing and financing the enabling infrastructure of the deep space economy: nuclear and solar surface power, heliocentric communications systems, positioning, navigation and timing networks serving key celestial bodies, computing and edge inference, and the Moonport and Marsport multimodal nodes that connect them. Infrastructure first. Everything else follows.
02 Mining
Prospecting, exploring, permitting and building the first commercially viable lunar mines, initially targeting helium-3 at three prime oceanus and mare sites. And then the full spectrum of space resources, including water ice, volatiles, platinum group metals, and rare earths. Across the Moon, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt. The apex commercial activity of the deep space economy.
03 Colonizing
Developing and building the first privately financed human-crewed bases, beginning at the lunar south pole near the Rim of Eternal Light. Adjacent to water ice in permanently shadowed regions of Shackleton Crater and others. Powered by near-continuous solar, combined with nuclear reactors. Built to operate, not to visit.

Creating dedicated industrial clusters in the deep space supply chain.
Extraterrestrial invests in, acquires and vertically integrates strategically vital deep space technology companies. Proven flight heritage, world-class technical capabilities, often capital-starved and government-dependent. We provide the commercial demand anchor, the institutional capital, and the industrial coordination they cannot find elsewhere.
Our targets are Series C and later-stage companies operating beyond geostationary orbit (GEO) and the Van Allen Belt, across propulsion, power, communications, navigation, mining, robotics, and edge compute. We consolidate fragmented suppliers into a standards-driven, demand-secured industrial ecosystem. The result is a platform that generates durable returns across civil, defence, and commercial space domains. And funds The Extraterrestrial Rewilding Trust in perpetuity.

Glen Martin
Chief Executive Officer
Glen Martin has spent more than thirty-five years building infrastructure at the intersection of space, energy, and industrial technology. He began his career contributing to International Space Station as a design engineer at McDonnell Douglas Space Systems Company and has since developed and financed companies across satellite communications, green hydrogen, intelligent microgrids, and large-scale solar deployment in Asia and the Americas. His work on lunar resource development — including helium-3 extraction and foundational lunar energy systems — has positioned Extraterrestrial at the frontier of the deep space economy. He holds a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in Aerospace Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University (nee Ryerson Institute of Technology) and an Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Southern California.
Jacques Demers
Chairman
Jacques Demers brings forty-five years of legal and investment expertise to Extraterrestrial, with a career that has shaped how institutional capital moves across borders and asset classes. As President and CEO of OMERS Strategic Investments from 2008 to 2015, he managed $3.5 billion in assets and led the creation of the $12.6 billion Global Strategic Investment Alliance — a landmark framework for co-investment between Canadian, Japanese, and international pension funds. He co-founded AGAWA Partners in 2015, focusing on sustainable infrastructure in oceans, water, and agri-food. Jacques holds a law degree from Université Laval and studied economics, history, and philosophy at McGill University. He brings the LP relationships, institutional credibility, and cross-border governance expertise that the Extraterrestrial capital programme demands.
The surplus of the deep space economy, returned to the Earth.
The Extraterrestrial Rewilding Trust is a permanent endowment, structurally embedded in Extraterrestrial and funded from operational surplus beyond targeted investor returns. It is more than a philanthropic programme, it is the long arc of the commercial thesis: the deep space economy generates abundance; that abundance restores the planet.
The Extraterrestrial Rewilding Trust funds Miyawaki reforestation, wetland and riverine corridor reconstruction, ocean rewilding, including kelp forests, seagrass restoration, and Indigenous-led land initiatives globally. It supports rewilding science and conservation leadership. And it creates large-scale employment for workers displaced by cognitive AI and robotics, turning the most disruptive technological transition in history into a force for planetary renewal.
Aligned with the sustainable development goals of the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) as championed by Professor Brian Cox, and the Earth/Percent mission of the inimitable Brian Eno.
