In one sentence: The space economy is booming in more ways than one.Space-based assets are changing the way industries operate on Earth. Chad Anderson – Founder and Managing Partner at Space Capital – is one of those individuals who has a deep perspective on the what it is like backing the entrepreneurs who are launching the newest breed of space companies.An investor by profession and explorer by passion, Anderson relates to us how “the economy of the future” will be built on global positioning systems, geospatial intelligence, and communications.To paraphrase the title of a book by Ashlee Vance, the heavens have gone on sale. Anderson's evangelism is perhaps not only warranted, but perhaps fully validated, as exhibited by his and his team's early investments in mature startups such as Planet and LeoLabs and younger companies such as Quantum Exchange and Lunar Outpost. (Note that Lunar Outpost is Tough Tech Today co-host Forrest Meyen's company, which we covered in episode 9 with the founder and CEO, Justin Cyrus.)We also learn about Anderson's unique experiences concocting whiskey and mezcal in pursuit of adventure and cultural discovery.P.S.

In der heutigen Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir Maroje Guertl, Principal bei Verdane. Maroje und Fabian Tausch haben die Bewertung von Klarna, die Finanzierungsrunde von Echo3D und die Umbenennung von Junge besprochen: Das schwedische Buy-Now-Pay-Later-Fintech Klarna muss laut Berichten des Wall Street Journal starke Abschläge bei seiner Bewertung verkraften. Diese scheint im Zuge der Verhandlungen einer neuen Finanzierungsrunde auf 6,5 Milliarden US-Dollar gefallen zu sein. Vor etwa einem Jahr hatten noch bekannte Investoren wie SoftBank oder Sequoia auf einer Bewertung von 45,6 Milliarden US-Dollar in das Startup investiert, also rund dem Siebenfachen der aktuellen Bewertung. Derzeit scheint Klarna rund 650 Millionen US-Dollar einwerben zu wollen, was etwa der Höhe der Verluste des Vorjahres entspricht. Echo3D konnte 5,5 Millionen US-Dollar für die Cloud-Speicherung und das Streaming von 3D-, Augmented-Reality- und Virtual-Reality-Inhalten für eine breite Palette von Anwendungen einsammeln. Qualcomm Ventures führte dabei die Finanzierungsrunde an. Weitere Investoren waren Remagine Ventures, Konvoy Ventures und Space Capital. Die Ankündigung folgt auf den zuvor angekündigten Snapdragon Metaverse Fund von Qualcomm und sechs Monate nach der vorherigen 4-Millionen-Dollar-Kapitalerhöhung von Echo3D im Oktober 2021. Das New Yorker Startup hofft, die Art und Weise, wie 3D-, AR- und VR-Inhalte gespeichert und gestreamt werden, zu verändern. Ziel ist es, die Dateigrößen und Entwicklungszeiten für 3D-Objekte zu reduzieren, die auf Websites und in Apps verwendet werden. Der unter anderem von David Rosskamp geführte VC June ändert seinen Namen und wird nun als Magnetic fortgeführt. Zunächst verfolgen die Partner – neben dem ehemaligen Earlybird-Investor Rosskamp noch Mario Lebherz, bis Sommer 2021 Managing Director bei den Atlantic Food Labs – für Magnetic die Zielmarke von rund 220 Millionen Euro. Als erstes Investment engagierte sich der Fonds beim neuen Startup des Mymuesli-Gründers, Project Eaden. Fokus für die Investments sollen dem Bericht zufolge Innovationen wie Kryptowährungen oder synthetische Lebensmittel sein.

Michael Sheetz started at CNBC covering breaking news and then joined the markets team, writing about Wall Street and stocks. During that time, CNBC gave him room to report on the space industry and realized there was a huge audience for it. Investors of all kinds, from the mom and pop retail investors to the largest investors on Wall Street, were all interested in exploring opportunities in the space market. At the same time, Space Capital began releasing reports which quantified the amount of investment coming into the industry. Hundreds of new companies were entering the market and challenging incumbents, which made for a constant stream of news flow. In this episode, we talk to Michael Sheetz, Space Reporter at CNBC, about the business case for space.
With the number of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) projected to swell to up to 15,000 in the next five years, space situational awareness and debris mitigation have become a much-discussed topic in the last year. In this episode, we talk to Dan Ceperly, CEO of LeoLabs, whose mission is to ensure safe commercial operations in LEO. The Space Angels and Space Capital-funded company was founded to provide a practical, cost-effective solution to debris tracking, management, and mitigation starting now, before the problem escalates.

What rules exist to govern and grant property rights in space? What are you allowed to do and not do? And how are things changing as more new entrants join the space economy? To answer these questions, we spoke with Richard Garriott, a private astronaut and famed video game developer. He is also the Vice Chairman of Space Adventures, a trustee of the XPRIZE Foundation, a Fellow of the Explorers Club, and an advisor for our venture fund, Space Capital. But Richard's credentials are not the reason we've invited him to the podcast—Richard is the first person to credibly claim ownership of extraterrestrial territory.
