Square One: Conversations with the Best in Business 82: Tim Ellis, Founder and CEO of Relativity Space
On this podcast we frequently chat with Founders changing the world - everything from autonomous checkout to vertical labor marketplaces to the creator economy and the no code movement. But one of the areas I’ve been most recently intrigued by is space. And so this week we talked to one of the sharpest and most interesting entrepreneurs in today’s space movement - Tim Ellis, Founder & CEO of Relativity Space. Relativity’s mission is to make mankind a multi-planetary species. To make this mission a reality, the company is radically changing the infrastructure and manufacturing process to build a rocket shrinking the launch process from 180 months to 60 days.
How they’re doing this is what’s especially mind blowing to me - 3D printing. In this episode we talked about the space economy, 3D printing, aerospace supply chains and how Tim is using a fresh fundraising round of $500M to change the way we think about space.
