💡 Investor insights: Quentin discusses European space tech and growing from lab to market with The Scenarionist. 🚀 The space tech industry has taken off in recent years – investors are particularly excited by the emerging category of ‘in-space economy’…from repurposing satellites to debris removal and space tourism. Before approaching VC’s, consider where you’re ready to transition from science to engineering. “VCs aren’t the most efficient capital to finance research…there are grants for this. Consider: are we beyond the science, do we know it’s going to work and are entering the engineering phase where we’re making a product.” 🛰️ Hardware takes time to scale – focus on showing the maturity of the technology and team quality. “Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) is a crucial indicator…also where you come from and what sets you apart of the 0.01% of people in the world qualified to build this right now." 🎙️ You can listen to the interview with Nicola Marchese here: https://lnkd.in/eFuMTDmT

Space is a place, just like Boston or your local town square, and I've recently been thinking about how the pieces of its economy will take shape. Last week spending time at the International Space Station R&D Conference, coupled with conversations and insights around the current commercial, civil, and defense fields, has helped me wrap my head around from which corner the LEO Space economy puzzle will be built. I believe there is promise for this potential boomtown economy, but it is still in its infancy. Some keystone ideas I am interested in include: - How we can develop the necessary infrastructure and standardization to support a variety of future Low Earth Orbit (LEO) applications - How peripheral stakeholders can help companies cross the "Technology Valley of Death". Strategic partnerships and infrastructure are key to overcoming challenges and unlocking the full potential of the emerging LEO economy If this type of thinking interests you, please check out my more in-depth writing on Medium to keep the conversation going!
