  • Pre-seed investor & helping with GTM (messaging, digital, PR)
  • Building a satellite is risky, capital intensive, and can take decades. Satellite designs are locked years before launch, which forces companies to make decisions too early, without the right information. Because of long design and build cycles, businesses and governments have to live with the consequences of decisions they made years ago. Katalyst Space Technologies upgrades satellites post-launch using in-space servicing, giving operators a second chance to add features that maintain their competitive edge.

  • After 6 years in manufacturing and 1 year agency side in B2B SaaS, joining CoLab was the perfect opportunity to combine the best of both worlds.
  • CoLab is a cloud based platform purpose built for fast, effective design review. Using CoLab, multiple engineers, designers, and other stakeholders can review designs together and build off one another's feedback. CoLab makes it easy to review the right data (including CAD) with all the right people, capture useful feedback, and track issues through to action. CoLab pulls together design discussions previously lost in emails, spreadsheets, and notebooks into a single platform that integrates back into PLM. We call it a Design Engagement System.
