Investment VP Lewis Alun Jones spotted in TechCrunch discussing the highs and lows of space investing 🛰 🚀 Much of the current investing is shadowed by the SPAC boom in 2021 and the subsequent bust, which saw many of those companies’ valuations dwindle to a fraction of their former value.

So hopefully, that shake-up means people start thinking about it, and there’ll be some good opportunities in the future.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gBMyZMcX
