The New Space Economy
The New Space Economy is global, entrepreneurial, and most importantly, accessible.
For the first 60 years of space exploration, governments were the only game in town. That all changed in 2008 with the launch of SpaceX’s Falcon One, ushering in a new era of commercial space opportunities.
Today, there are over 100+ rocket startups and thousands of new entrants in this exciting new sector. It is increasingly diversified and expanding with private entities across a variety of sub-sectors.
This boom in space investment and innovation ushers in a new era and presents a generational opportunity.
Join us in learning more about how companies, policy makers, and stakeholders (the public) can participate in the New Space Economy.
Renewable Energy & Material Science
Renewable Energy is now the cheapest form of electrical power to produce. This is a significant development as the costs of renewable energy production has fallen by over 90+% in the last 20 years. We believe solar panels will be deployed everywhere at scale by 2030-2035.
Material science has played a pivotal role in human advancement, providing the foundation for technological breakthroughs and innovations that have reshaped industries, infrastructure, and our daily lives. In the realm of renewable energy, material science has been instrumental in the development of solar panels, wind turbines, and energy storage, unlocking new frontiers in sustainable energy and driving the global transition toward a greener future.
While this progress is laudable, carbon emissions from transportation fuels and the built environment represent significant opportunities for reduction, innovation, and investment.
District energy systems (thermal energy) in particular represent smart waste-to-use thinking that we believe is the future.
Digital Assets: Blockchain, Web3, Cryptocurrencies
The internet of value is enabled by the rapid proliferation of decentralized ledgers and blockchains over the last decade. These networks utilize cryptography to remove the need for middlemen and friction in transactions. Digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) settle value in seconds, rather than days.
Tremendous opportunity exists in the tokenization of real world assets (RWAs) such as bonds, equities, real estate, collectibles, and more. Blockchains allow chain-of-custody tracking and ownership provenance which drive the cost of verification to zero, and make fractional ownership of assets possible, opening the door to opportunities for those locked out of the traditional financial system.
We believe a “broadband moment” for payments will unleash the economic potential of the internet and in doing so provide opportunity for billions of people across the globe.
What Satoshi Nakamoto started in 2008 with his white paper: “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” will grow from a $1 trillion dollar asset class in 2023 to $30 trillion dollars by 2033, spawning the internet of value.
The current banking and regulatory systems are antiquated and unfit for the rapid advances in digital innovation. We believe laws clarifying what digital assets are, and innovation sandboxes must exist to foster these transformational developments, not extinguish wealth creation in our communities.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (Ai)
AI may be the most disruptive development in human history.
We believe it will have the biggest impact on the global economy ever witnessed. Ai has the potential to transform human civilization for the better, but presents significant risks that cannot be ignored.
Creation of artificial general intelligence (AGI) has been forecast years away, but the pace of innovation has shocked even the most optimistic of proponents.
Ai may be a more impactful technological breakthrough than the splitting of the atom.
We believe that Ai combined with the digital transformations of blockchain will unleash global GDP by creating an exponential increase in the speed of commerce, pooling & allocation of capital, and provenance of identity that enables decentralized communities to flourish like never before.
Smart policy must foster this industry while providing thoughtful bumpers on human privacy, human rights, and most importantly the fair and equitable distribution of benefits from the coming productivity increases from capital investments in robotics and Ai.
