Varda - The New Space Industry with Delian Asparouhov [Space]

Delian Asparouhov is the founder of Varda Space Industries, the first in-space manufacturing company. Delian is also a Principal at Founders Fund and has led investments into Ramp, Sword Health, Hadrian, and former guests on this show, Cover Technologies. Varda is being incubated out of Founders Fund and just raised $9M led by Josh Wolfe at Lux Capital.

This is the first in an 8-part series on the space industry and is a fantastic intro to all things space. We talk about the challenges of manufacturing materials in space, building a re-entry vehicle, the players in the commercial space industry, spinning a company out of Founders Fund, and how Delian became both a VC and a founder.
