#30: Can Space Infrastructure Be Outsourced? - Alex Greenberg, Loft Orbital

Today I am speaking with Alex Greenberg, Co-founder & COO of Loft Orbital.

Loft is actually one of my favourite companies in the space industry. I will let you listen to Alex explaining about what they do, but what got me interested in Loft is - they are actually trying to solve something that I have been asking myself over the last couple of years, which is whether we can "outsource space" especially the part of building, launching and operating satellites.

In this episode, Alex and I discussion that question, talk about Loft's journey, how they manage to become a household name both in the US and in France, their go-to-market strategy and more.
