Six years ago, today, I joined Astranis. In that time, we have: ‣ hired 400+ people ‣ built out a 150,000 sq ft factory ‣ sold >$1B of connectivity services ‣ launched five satellites on two rockets Already the job of a lifetime. And we're truly just getting started.

The time had clearly come to deal with the Iran nuclear problem. Hugely grateful for the men and women of the U.S. military and the White House for pulling off such a daring mission with stealth and skill. The world is far safer today as a result. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Proud to be on this list with some titans of the angel investing world. America needs to get back to building things again. That's all that matters.
