💡 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

💡 Founder insights: MEDWING’s Johannes Roggendorf shares advice for finding cofounder fit with Sifted. 🧑⚕️ Founded in 2017, Medwing are on a mission to tackle Europe’s shortage of healthcare workers — the platform is used by over 500,000 healthcare professionals. For Roggendorf, the cofounder he chose six months into the company was initially a great fit — however, they had different ideas on how to run the company. 💼 Founding with friends can work — but you need to know how that’d translate in work context. “If you have worked with someone, you know how they approach things, how they prioritise, how they work, what is important for them in the culture, how they’d run a company.” You can read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gDeMHnuG CC: Sadia Nowshin
