David J. Anderman is a seasoned technology and aerospace executive who currently serves as Co-Founder and General Partner of Stellar Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage space technology startups that has invested in more than three dozen companies. He is also the Founder and CEO of Sovera Corporation (also referred to as Omnis Corp.), a space company in stealth mode incubated at Stellar Ventures. In addition, he is the founder of Red Rock Media Group, described as the media company for humanity's expansion into the cosmos. Anderman serves as an Independent Director on the board of FutureCorp Space Acquisition 1 (NYSE: FTRA), a blank check company targeting businesses in the global space economy and defense sectors, which completed a $230 million IPO in June 2026. He sits on the SPAC's audit committee alongside John R. Tuttle and Shawn K. Pelsinger, and has been designated as an independent, financially literate director under NYSE listing standards. He also holds a seat on the Board of Directors of Surf Air Mobility, having been appointed in December 2024.
Anderman's career spans some of the most iconic names in entertainment and aerospace. He spent 16 years at Lucasfilm Ltd., George Lucas's entertainment empire, starting as the junior lawyer and rising through the ranks to become Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. In that capacity, he notably negotiated Lucasfilm's $4 billion sale to Disney in 2012. He then transitioned to the real space industry as General Counsel of SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, where he played a key role in landmark projects including the rollout of the Starlink global satellite internet system, the first-ever launch of astronauts to the International Space Station by a private company, and the maiden flight of Starship, SpaceX's Mars colony vehicle. He has also held C-level positions at a series of technology startups, and he began his career as an intellectual property litigator in Silicon Valley.
As an angel investor, Anderman's portfolio includes seed-stage investments in Haystack TV and Meograph, both made in 2015, with a focus on enterprise applications and media and entertainment sectors. He is based in the Los Angeles area, specifically Hawthorne, California, and received his education at the University of Pennsylvania. Anderman has been a featured speaker at the Future in Review conference and has appeared on the Something Ventured Silicon Valley podcast, where he discussed his experiences working for both George Lucas and Elon Musk, the commercialization of space, and the timeline for human exploration of Mars. His career trajectory from the imagined worlds of Star Wars to the actual frontiers of commercial spaceflight and space-focused venture capital represents a unique bridge between entertainment, technology, and aerospace.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002049598 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 6 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 5 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
