Rob Desborough, Seraphim Space: $100M Fund & the Space Economy

Rob Desborough, General Partner at Seraphim Space, discusses the firm's new $100M early-stage space fund, its 149-company portfolio across 33 countries, and the Seraphim Space Index showing space investment growing 12x in a decade to $12.4B. He explains why the SpaceX IPO will pull later-stage capital into space and release vested founder talent, how Europe's defence stimulus and the NATO Innovation Fund change the funding landscape, and why space data centers face physics and economics challenges even as he's bullish on distributed processing.
