In this episode, Rich and Jason speak to the alpha-omega space collector, Steve Jurvetson, who has arguable the most complete space flown hardware collection in private hands. A board member of Space X, Steve was an original investor in Elon Musk's journeys off-Earth. (In fact, he's owned the first production Tesla Model S, and the second production Model X, which he has since donated to the Peterson Automobile Museum.) Getting bitten by the collecting bug after buying some John Young items, Steve's massive collection now spans all programs and is primarily made up of unique, one-of-a-kind flown mission critical items such as parts of the spacecraft itself. Hear how he assembled his collection, his perspective on the types of items he collects, and how he decides what stays and goes. Steve co-founded Future Ventures, where he investments in trailblazing, purpose-driven entrepreneurs with unique, moon-shot ideas that have the potential to reinvent entire industries, and President Barack Obama appointed Steve as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. With his mind firmly focused on the future, you will hear about how Steve leverage's the past to inspire and inform the next generation. Join the guys as they discuss everything from Steve's expansive office museum to secret, buried  space treasure in Houston!

If you're familiar with the Silicon Valley world or venture capital space, Steve Jurvetson is a name that needs no introduction. For the rest of you, Steve's a legendary venture capitalist perhaps best known for his early backing of companies like Hotmail, Skype, Paypal, Tesla, SpaceX, and more. He sat on Tesla's board of directors for years, and currently sits on SpaceX's board, too. These big bets he's taken on then-risky and out-there companies have led Steve to astronomical financial success (pun intended), but also to become an influential thought leader on space and technology issues, along with others. He was also an early backer of the cultivated meat industry, investing in Upside Foods' Series A. In 2016, President Obama appointed Steve as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. Steve's also been honored as one of "Tech's Best Venture Investors" by Forbes, and as the “Venture Capitalist of the Year” by Deloitte. The dude's a pretty prolific photographer too, it turns out, as I've learned. In fact, if you enter his name into Google without hitting enter, one of the dropdowns you get served is Steve Jurvetson Flickr!  Today, Steve runs a venture capital fund called Future Ventures with his business partner Maryanna Saenko, and for full disclosure, as you'll hear in this interview, Future Ventures is an investor in my own company, The Better Meat Co. But as you'll also hear in this interview, that doesn't stop us from discussing taboo topics like Steve's personal wealth, how he spends his money, and more.  Other interesting topics we explore include: What led a deep tech investor like Steve to invest in alternative meat? How many startup pitches does Steve hear weekly?  What makes a good pitch, and what gets him to cross the finish line to actually wire investment dollars? What company does Steve want you to start and pitch him on? What does Steve think you should look for in a cofounder? For what does Steve think his future self will condemn his current self? What would be one of the greatest discoveries ever, in Steve's view? What happened in his life when Steve stopped drinking? What does Steve suggest you try as “the funniest google exercise”? In all, it's a riveting conversation with one of the most consequential names in business, including businesses that are seeking to do good in the world.  Resources referenced in this episode NASA's Planetary Protection Division and Paul's thoughts in Astronomy magazine about its implications Massive liquid water oceans in our solar system, such as on Europa and Enceladus Europa report, which Steve still needs to see Steve's thoughts on Boston Consulting Group's report on where best to invest for the climate Steve's review of Paul's book Clean Meat (which he reviewed before the two knew each other) Other books Steve's enjoyed: Steve Jobs, The Founders, and Code Breaker More about Steve Jurvetson Steve Jurvetson is an early-stage venture capitalist with a focus on founder-led, mission-driven companies at the cutting edge of disruptive technology and new industry formation.  Steve led founding investments in several companies that had successful IPOs and others that were billion-dollar acquisitions, representing $800 billion of aggregate value creation. Some of those early VC investments include Planet Labs, SpaceX and Tesla. Before co-founding Future Ventures and Draper Fisher Jurvetson,  Steve was an R&D Engineer at Hewlett-Packard, where seven of his chip designs were fabricated.  He also worked in product marketing at Apple and NeXT and management consulting with Bain & Company.  He completed his undergraduate Electrical Engineering degree at Stanford in 2.5 years, graduating #1 in his class, and went on to earn a MSEE and MBA from Stanford.  In 2017, Steve received the Visionary Award from SV Forum. In 2016, President Barack Obama appointed Steve as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. Steve has also been honored as one of "Tech's Best Venture Investors" by Forbes, and as the “Venture Capitalist of the Year” by Deloitte.

If ever there was a captain of newspace, it's Steve Jurvetson. From rescuing SpaceX in their darkest hour, to investing in many of the most successful space startups, Steve has been there—and seemingly, everywhere—since the beginning of the new space age. Graduating Stanford with a degree in electrical engineering in just over two years, he's perenially one of the smartest guys in the room, and is a true space visionary. Join us for this wide-ranging discussion on the state of newspace, how the new space age will be built on private enterprise and private investment, public-private partnerships in spaceflight, and the magnificent future of spaceflight.

As TIME announces Elon Musk as its pick for 2021 Person of the Year, we look at the SpaceX founder's ideology and outlook on the future, as well as perspectives on the controversial billionaire's achievements.  This week, as tornadoes ravage parts of the Blue Grass State and the Omicron variant makes its way across the UK and other parts of the world, we look at the recent surprise announcement by a longtime Fox News anchor that he is leaving... and the even more surprising revelation about where he is headed. Then turning our attention to TIME Magazine's announcement that SpaceX founder Elon Musk is its pick for 2021 Person of the Year, we look at the billionaire's accomplishments, along with where he sees humanity headed in the decades ahead. This, along with why some pundits are saying they want Musk to be more outspoken about politics and economics... all on this edition of Middle Theory.

About this episode In our entrepreneurial journeys, we need to think much bigger and therefore set our expectations and goals much higher. By doing so, we're forced to shift our perspective to play the long game. Steve Jurvetson knows this well and has a comparable perspective when it comes to investable technologies. While most investors want to know what your three to five-year plans are, Steve wants to know what your company will look like in 50 years. Steve is the co-founder of Future Ventures, current board member of SpaceX, and former board member of Tesla. Prior to Future Ventures, Steve was the co-founder and managing director for Draper Fisher Jurvetson, where he led the firm's investments in SpaceX, Tesla, Planet, Memphis Meats, Hotmail, and Skype. In 2016, former President Barack Obama announced Steve's appointment as a presidential ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. He has also been honored by Forbes as one of the text best venture investors and by Deloitte as the venture capitalist of the year. Steve is arguably one of the most brilliant individuals I have ever spoken to. Tune in and enjoy a conversation that will blow your mind. In this episode, you'll hear. What Steve thought he wanted to do as a kid and what his parents encouraged him to do. His experience in electrical engineering and business school. How he progressed from Bain to venture capital. The moment he realized he wanted to do venture capital for the rest of his life. How he developed an intuitive approach to the market. How he connected with Elon Musk for an investment opportunity. The core areas he invests in now.

Books I've Loved — Steve Jurvetson | Brought to you by Four Sigmatic.Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to sit down with world-class performers of all different types—from startup founders and investors to chess champions to Olympic athletes. This episode, however, is an experiment and part of a shorter series I'm doing called "Books I've Loved." I've invited some amazing past guests, close friends, and new faces to share their favorite books — the books that have influenced them, changed them, and transformed them for the better. I hope you pick up one or two new mentors — in the form of books — from this new series and apply the lessons in your own life.Steve Jurvetson (@jurvetson) is an early-stage venture capitalist with a focus on founder-led, mission-driven companies at the cutting edge of disruptive technology and new industry formation.

I reached out to these Finnish entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat introduced me to one of their products, which blew my mind (in the best way possible). It is mushroom coffee featuring Lion's Mane. It tastes like coffee, but there are only 40 milligrams of caffeine, so it has less than half of what you would find in a regular cup of coffee. I do not get any jitters, acid reflux, or any type of stomach burn. It put me on fire for an entire day, and I only had half of the packet.You can try it right now by going to foursigmatic.com/tim and using the code Tim to get 20 percent off your first order.

(16:48) - What are some failures that you've had in your journey as a venture capitalist? (19:13) - What is some advice that you can give to the Gritty Founders listening to this episode? (25:21) - What would you tell entrepreneurs who are working on a business right now who think they need an investor to give them some money?

Introduction de la première session du colloque, consacrée à la mode et plus précisément à son exposition au sein des musées dans lesquels elle s'immisce de plus en plus.

Depuis plusieurs années, l'Institut national du patrimoine organise le colloque « Ce qu'exposer veut dire ». A travers l'exemple d'expositions emblématiques de l'année précédente, le colloque a pour ambition de présenter les différentes problématiques qu'engage le projet de l'exposition. Chaque intervention, au-delà de la question scientifique, doit aussi comporter une dimension « métiers », de sorte que le colloque aborde, au fil de son déroulé, l'essentiel de la chaîne opératoire de l'exposition. Sont abordées des thématiques aussi diverses que le projet scientifique, la scénographie, l'installation des œuvres, la médiation ainsi que les partenariats. C'est aussi l'occasion exceptionnelle de rencontrer des artistes contemporains majeurs qui présentent leur travail et leur démarche artistique.

Le projet de l'exposition Dior nous donne l'occasion d'étudier le cheminement entre la conception d'un projet scientifique et sa réalisation concrète, matérielle, ensuite. Une étude préalable a ainsi été menée sur l'ensemble du fonds ancien de la maison Dior conservé au MAD (environ 200 pièces, entre 1947 et 1961). Cette étude a permis de structurer, budgéter et planifier la campagne de restauration avant la mise en exposition des pièces. Nous en présenterons les principaux résultats. L'examen systématique des œuvres en réserve a permis par ailleurs de mieux comprendre les spécificités techniques et matérielles des pièces Dior ; ces observations guident les traitements de restauration et participent à un enrichissement des connaissances sur les collections. Ce travail a enfin permis de définir et mettre en place un plan de reconditionnement du fonds (coût et matériaux) suite à l'exposition. Emmanuelle Garcin est titulaire d'un DEA (Master 2) en histoire de l'art et archéologie puis elle est diplômée en 2004 de l'Intitut national du Patrimoine, dans la spécialité conservation-restauration des matériaux textiles. Restauratrice indépendante durant huit ans, elle travaille depuis 2014 au Musée des Arts décoratifs à Paris où elle est en charge de la conservation-restauration des collections textiles et mode du musée. Elle coordonne les chantiers de restauration pour les expositions mode du musée des Arts décoratifs et pour les prêts des œuvres à des institutions française. Le fruit de ces observations sur les techniques et matériaux textiles fait l'objet d'un cours dispensé à l'Ecole du Louvre depuis 3 ans aux élèves inscrits en spécialité « Histoire de la mode ».

Earlier this month, a Vanity Fair report revealed sordid tales of Silicon Valley sex parties. But the tales, while full of unsavory and salacious details, did not include any names, raising questions in some minds about their truthfulness. Two people familiar with one of the parties---including one who attended---tell WIRED it was hosted by venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson, co-founder of the firm DFJ.

Quantum computers could be almost farcically powerful compared to classical computers. Venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson and I discuss how & why this is – and whether this potential will ever be realized.   For those who are reading the novel After On, Tom Meritt and I discuss pages 241-288 in the very last section of the podcast.

“If you didn’t understand evolution, and somebody explains it to you, you have to take your ego down a notch. You have to say: “Wait a minute. So humanity is not the endpoint of purposeful design? Wait – we’re just kind of an accident?!”” This is the Global Estonians Podcast, and I’m your host Rainer Sternfeld, where my goal is to create a cross-section of the most remarkable people in the Estonian diaspora, thus celebrating our centenary a little less than a year from now. This is the 20th episode! As you know, every tenth episode we make is a special where I talk to someone who is of Estonian descent yet doesn’t speak the seemingly unintelligible language, or is a big friend of Estonia who is contributing to the success of Estonia. We’re recording this on March 24 2017, and my guest today is a polymath, a world renowned venture capitalist and the country’s first e-resident outside Europe – Steve Jurvetson. In his day job, he invests in bold human endeavors in quantum computing, deep learning, electric cars, rockets, synthetic biology, genomics, robotics, and other areas. In this podcast you’ll hear us cover a wide variety of brain-stimulating topics: His technology-infused, Estonian-subtext upbringing in Arizona How chip design and computing is undergoing a fundamental shift using biomimicry? Why learning 9 programming languages is not as hard as 9 human languages, and what advice does he give to young people starting out in technology? How does he think about the future of humanity in the light of accelerating rich-poor gap, automation, and why will robots be the slaves, not humans? and his thoughts on why Estonia is competitive on the world stage.
