Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki was recently handed a private research dossier by a man he trusts more than any other when it comes to financial research.
It’s contents revealed a “Shadow SpaceX” company with a “launch cheat code” that every rocket company needs to become profitable.
The Teaser
The telephone, automobile, and airline industries all changed the world and Robert believes space will too.
Robert Kiyosaki has been making headlines recently for some dubious reasons, so it isn’t the best time for an investment pitch, but here we are.
We have covered some of Kiyosaki’s previous teasers, such as Trump’s Gold Income Secret and a flurry of SpaceX related pitches of late, including Rob Spivey’s SpaceX AI Landlord Supply Chain Stocks, among others.
This one strikes a familiar tone to start.
Kiyosaki kicks off his AI-generated video presentation by emphatically stating, with all the confidence of an infomercial hype man, that “the game is rigged,” and not in our favor.
It’s storybook antagonist prose, but when it comes to the SpaceX IPO, Robert has a point, or rather, a few.
As has been well documented across financial media, index managers like S&P Dow Jones and Nasdaq bent over backwards, and their own rules, in hopes of securing the mega-listing.
These are a few of the rule breaks by eventual IPO sweepstakes winner, Nasdaq:
Not only this, SpaceX raised nearly $12 billion across no less than 30 funding rounds before going public.
It could have easily raised another if it really wanted to, proving, at least to Kiyosaki, that the public listing was more about early investor liquidity than not being able to access capital.
Fortunately, there’s a silver lining.
While big IPOs are indeed usually designed by insiders for insiders to profit, little-known firms that solve big problems are still the domain of the intelligent retail investor, and Kiyosaki’s “financial 007,” Garrett Baldwin, has found one that every space company needs.
The Pitch
It’s name, ticker symbol, and recommended buy-up-to price are all revealed in an exclusive research dossier called “The Launch Cheat Code.”
The only way to access it is with a subscription to Robert’s new monthly research service, The Kiyosaki Letter.
Becoming a founding member costs $149, which is locked-in for the life of the subscription, and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
A $626 Billion Economy
Billionaires in rockets, going to space.
It sounds like an updated version of Jerry Seinfeld’s forgotten talk show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
However, the reality of the space economy is very different.
Recreational space travel, while a thing, is not even among the five largest segments of the emerging space industry.
For the time being, most of the money is in infrastructure and government services:
The current consensus is that the industry will roughly double over the next decade, creating ample investment opportunities like the kind Kiyosaki is teasing here.
The Biggest Bottleneck in Space
Demand is exploding, supply is constrained, and the gap is the opportunity.
The current wait time to launch anything into space is 18 months-2 years. This is the space economy’s biggest bottleneck and why SpaceX received the premium valuation that it did as the largest commercial launch provider in the world.
However, there’s another, more understated constraint on commercial space launches.
The Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation
This is literally rocket science, but it comes down to simple grade-school physics.
To get a rocket beyond orbit and into space you need fuel.
The heavier the payload, the more fuel that’s required, and launching heavy equipment like satellites uses a lot of fuel.
For example, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 partially reusable rocket burns approximately $200k worth of fuel per mission.
There’s only one way around these economics…higher altitude launches.
If feasible, this could cut the per mission fuel cost to one-tenth:
Kiyosaki’s financial sleuth has found a company solving this fuel problem and it’s the “shadow SpaceX” company.
Revealing Robert Kiyosaki’s Shadow SpaceX Company
Rapid-fire clues and a quote from the founder.
This is what we have to work with to reveal Kiyosaki and Baldwin’s top space pick.
- It’s a commercial space company operating just steps away from SpaceX out of a government launch facility in Cape Canaveral and holds the world record for fastest sustained supersonic flight.
- The company’s founder has said “No one can change physics. But we can change our first stage and we go twice as fast as all of our competition.”
- It trades for around $6 per share.
Based on these unmistakable markers, Starfighters Space Inc. (NYSE: FJET) is the “shadow SpaceX” company. Here is why:
- Starfighter’s HQ is in Cape Canaveral at state-owned Space Florida’s Reusable Launch Vehicle Hangar.
- The F-104 Starfighters it uses for launches do hold the world records for highest altitude and fastest flight, respectively.
- I wasn’t able to find any quote directly attributable to Starfighter’s founder Rick Svetkoff, but FJET stock was trading in the $5-6 range before falling 70% so far this year.
A Head Start in the Space Race?
Robert Kiyosaki likens the space industry to the early days of the internet in 1995.
A prime opportunity to not just make money, but create generational wealth.
The macro case is compelling, with space satellites making a number of essential activities faster and more efficient than ever.
There’s no question that any industry on track to top $1 trillion will create plenty of multibagger investment opportunities.
However, when it comes to the micro and Starfighters Space stock specifically, there’s a lot that’s missing.
The first and most obvious is that Starfighter’s business model of using refurbished F-104 figther jets to launch payload and small satellites into space has yet to be proven.
In this sense, it’s like investing in SpaceX before the first reusable rocket ever successfully launched and returned, making it more of a venture-type investment than an established stock buy.
Reflective of this is the fact that the company currently has no revenue and is burning around $2 million per quarter. So it’s a dilution and debt magnet.
To top it off, Starfighters is also embroiled in a legal back and forth with it’s founder and former longtime CEO, Rick Svetkoff over governance and control, explaining the stock sell-off through the first half of the year.
Until Starfighters proves that it’s commercial supersonic space launches are truly lower-cost and it settles it’s internal issues, I’m afraid that the stock will continue to tread water.
I like space as an investment theme, but at this initial stage, I would be looking more at established picks and shovels infrastructure plays than purely speculative pre-revenue moonshots.

- We exposed it for free! It’s Starfighters Space Inc. (NYSE: FJET).
- Starfighters has yet to make any successful commercial supersonic space launches with it’s jet fleet and remains pre-revenue.
