Sascha Deri, CEO
Founded and grew a solar distribution and light manufacturing company to $30M. In 2013, I discovered that a bioderived substance worked better than traditional petroleum fuels for rockets. We want to see more commercial space companies use Earth-friendly fuels to power our curiosity and ambitions to space.
