 Exhibit 10.18 

SPIRE GLOBAL, INC. 

OUTSIDE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY 

Spire Global, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that the granting of equity and cash compensation to members of the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board,” and members of the Board, “Directors”) represents an effective tool to attract, retain and reward Directors who are not employees of the Company (“Outside
Directors”). This Outside Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) is intended to formalize the Company’s policy regarding cash compensation and grants of equity awards to its Outside Directors. Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Policy will have the meaning given such term in the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, or if such plan no longer is in use at the time of the grant of an
equity award, the meaning given such term or similar term in the equity plan then in place under which the equity award is granted (the “Plan”). Each Outside Director will be solely responsible for any tax obligations incurred by
such Outside Director as a result of the equity awards and cash and other compensation such Outside Director receives under this Policy. 

1.    Effective Date. This Policy will be effective as upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
that certain Business Combination Agreement entered into by and among NavSight Holdings, Inc., NavSight Merger Sub Inc., and the Company, dated February 28, 2021, as may be amended from time to time (such transactions, the
“Merger,” such date of consummation of the Merger, the “Closing Date,” and the effective date of this Policy, the “Effective Date”). 

2.    Cash Compensation. 

2.1    Board Member Annual Cash Retainer. Following the Effective Date, each Outside Director will be paid an
annual cash retainer of $30,000. There are no per-meeting attendance fees for attending Board meetings or meetings of any committee of the Board. 

2.2    Additional Annual Cash Retainers. Following the Effective Date, each Outside Director who serves as the
Chairperson of the Board or Lead Director, or the chair or a member of a committee of the Board, will be eligible to earn additional annual fee of $15,000. 

For clarity, each Outside Director who serves as the Chairperson or Lead Director or as a chair or member of one or more committees will
receive only one additional annual fee regardless of the number of positions served. 
 2.3    Payment Timing and
Proration. Each annual cash retainer under this Policy will be paid quarterly in arrears on a prorated basis to each Outside Director who has served in the relevant capacity at any time during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter of the
Company (“Fiscal Quarter”), and such payment will be made no later than thirty (30) days following the end of such immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter. For clarity, an Outside Director who has served as an Outside Director, as
a member of an applicable committee (or chair thereof), or as Chairperson of the Board or Lead Director during only a portion of the relevant Fiscal Quarter will receive a prorated payment 












 
of the quarterly installment of the applicable annual cash retainer(s), calculated based on the number of days during such Fiscal Quarter such Outside Director has served in the relevant
capacities. For clarity, an Outside Director who has served as an Outside Director, as a member of an applicable committee (or chair thereof), or as Chairperson of the Board or Lead Director from the Effective Date through the end of the Fiscal
Quarter containing the Effective Date (the “Initial Period”), as applicable, will receive a prorated payment of the quarterly installment of the applicable annual cash retainer(s), calculated based on the number of days during the
Initial Period that such Outside Director has served in the relevant capacities. 
 3.    Equity Compensation.
Outside Directors will be eligible to receive all types of Awards (except Incentive Stock Options) under the Plan, including discretionary Awards not covered under this Policy. All grants of Awards to Outside Directors pursuant to Sections 3.2
and 3.3 of this Policy will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following provisions: 

3.1    No Discretion. No person will have any discretion to select which Outside Directors will be granted Awards
under this Policy or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by such Awards (except as provided in Sections 3.4.2 and 9 below). 

3.2    Initial Awards. Each individual who first becomes an Outside Director following the Effective Date
automatically will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (an “Initial Award”). The grant date of the Initial Award will be the first Trading Day on or after the date on which such individual first becomes an Outside Director
(such first date as an Outside Director, the “Initial Start Date”), whether through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill a vacancy. The Initial Award will have an aggregate grant date fair
value (determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) (the “Value”) of $275,000 (with the number of Shares subject to the Initial Award rounded down to the nearest whole Share). If an individual was an
Inside Director, becoming an Outside Director due to termination of the individual’s status as an Employee will not entitle the Outside Director to an Initial Award. Each Initial Award will be scheduled to vest in three (3), equal installments
on each of the one (1)-year, two (2)-year and three (3)-year anniversaries of the Initial Award’s date of grant (or on the last day of the month, if there is no corresponding day in such month), subject to the Outside Director remaining a
Service Provider through the applicable vesting date. 
 3.3    Annual Award. On the first Trading Day
immediately following each Annual Meeting of the Company’s stockholders (an “Annual Meeting”) that occurs after the Effective Date, each Outside Director who has served as an Outside Director for at least six (6) months
through the date of such Annual Meeting automatically will be granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Annual Award”) that will have a Value of $175,000 (with the number of Shares subject to the Annual Award rounded down to
the nearest whole Share). The Annual Award will be scheduled to vest in full on the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the grant date, or (ii) the date of the next Annual Meeting following
the grant date, subject to the Outside Director remaining a Service Provider through the applicable vesting date. 

3.4    Additional Terms of Initial Awards and Annual Awards. The terms and conditions of each Initial Award and
Annual Award (each, a “Policy Award”) will be as follows.

 3.4.1    Each Policy Award will be granted under and subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable form of Award Agreement previously approved by the Board or its Committee (as defined below), as applicable, for use thereunder. 

3.4.2    The Board or its Committee, as applicable and in its discretion, may change and otherwise revise the terms of
Policy Awards to be granted in the future pursuant to this Policy, including without limitation the number of Shares subject thereto and type of Award. 

4.    Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, each Outside Director will fully vest in his or her
outstanding Company equity awards that were granted to him or her while an Outside Director, as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, including any Policy Award, provided that the Outside Director continues to be an Outside Director through
the date of such Change in Control. 
 5.    Annual Compensation Limit. No Outside Director may be granted, in
any Fiscal Year, Awards with values (based on their grant date fair value determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), and be provided any other compensation (including without limitation any cash retainers or fees)
in amounts that, in any Fiscal Year, in the aggregate, exceed $750,000, provided that such amount is increased to $1,000,000 in the Fiscal Year of his or her initial service as an Outside Director. Any Awards or other compensation provided to an
individual (a) for his or her services as an Employee, or for his or her services as a Consultant other than as an Outside Director, or (b) prior to the Closing Date, will be excluded for purposes of this Section 5. 

6.    Travel Expenses. Each Outside Director’s reasonable, customary and properly documented travel expenses
to meetings of the Board and any of its committees, as applicable, will be reimbursed by the Company. 

7.    Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs (other than any ordinary dividends or other ordinary distributions), the
Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Policy, will adjust the number and class of shares of stock that may be delivered pursuant to Policy Awards
and/or the number, class, and price of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Policy Award. 
 8.    Section
409A. In no event will cash compensation or expense reimbursement payments under this Policy be paid after the later of (a) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the
compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, or (b) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the end of the calendar year in which the compensation is earned or expenses are incurred, as applicable, in
compliance with the “short-term deferral” exception under Section 409A. It is the intent of this Policy that this Policy and all payments hereunder be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that
none of the compensation to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be 

  
 - 3 - 













 
interpreted to be so exempt or comply. In no event will the Company or any of its Parents or Subsidiaries have any responsibility, liability, or obligation to reimburse, indemnify, or hold
harmless an Outside Director (or any other person) for any taxes imposed, or other costs incurred, as a result of Section 409A. 

9.    Revisions. The Board or any committee of the Board that has been designated appropriate authority with
respect to Outside Director compensation (or with respect to any applicable element or elements thereof, authority with respect to such element or elements) (the “Committee”) may amend, alter, suspend or terminate this Policy at any
time and for any reason. Further, the Board may provide for cash, equity, or other compensation to Outside Directors in addition to the compensation provided under this Policy. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of this Policy will
materially impair the rights of an Outside Director with respect to compensation that already has been paid or awarded, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Outside Director and the Company. Termination of this Policy will not affect the
Board’s or the Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it with respect to Awards granted under the Plan pursuant to this Policy before the date of such termination, including without limitation such applicable powers set
forth in the Plan.
