Jeff Crusey - Venture Capital Investing in Space: The Ex Terra Podcast
There has been a recent explosion of space companies, and all of them are looking for funding. That means there is also a lot of opportunity for venture capital firms looking to invest in space companies, and our guest on this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast has a good deal of experience in that realm.
Jeff Crusey has been a Product Manager, a Senior Analyst at a VC, a company Co-Founder, a Strategy Manager at ViaSat, a VC with Sepharim Space, as well as an Angel investor for Space/Military Manufacturing Startups Epsilon3 and True Anomaly. He knows his way around.
Venture capital … often abbreviated as VC … is a form of private equity financing that is provided by venture capital firms or funds. They generally invest in startups, early-stage, and emerging companies that have been deemed to have high growth potential, or which have demonstrated high growth in terms of number of employees, annual revenue, scale of operations, and other factors. Venture capital firms or funds invest in these early-stage companies in exchange for equity, or an ownership stake. Venture capitalists take on the risk of financing risky start-ups in the hopes that some of the firms they support will become successful.
On the podcast, Jeff talks with host Tom Patton about the state of the commercial space industry in comparison to Silicon Valley in the late ’70s and early ’80s; how current events affect how companies invest; the perception that there are many opportunities for venture capital investing in space, and what market niches exist that an entrepreneur might look to fill.
How does what happens in space affect your everyday life? The Ex Terra podcast is dedicated to introducing you to many of the interesting people involved in the commercial space industry and taking you behind the scenes with many of the companies making significant contributions to the new space economy. The podcast is available on Anchor, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Breaker, Overcast, Pocketcasts and Radio Public.
