Is this a suitable way to initiate some work at startup?

single { CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default + SupervisorJob() ) }

    single<PeopleInSpaceRepositoryInterface>(createdAtStart = true) {
        PeopleInSpaceRepository()
            .also {
                get<CoroutineScope>().launch {
                    it.fetchAndStorePeople()
                }
            }
    }

I would generally recommend not having side effects when you're constructing your dependency graph, because in 6 months when you're trying to debug why a certain call is happening in a certain order it's going to be confusing.

Yeah, I agree with this advice but fear it means duplicating some startup process.

Agree with Russell. Coming from Android, I’ve definitely found this pattern inconvenient, especially for ViewModel init blocks. They seem convenient but will definitely be painful if you have a checkModules() test
