We interview leaders who move fast and ask them what they did and how they did it, with the goal of bringing their strategies and tactics to bear on the world’s biggest problems.

Will, Delian Asparouhov, and Dan Marshall cofounded Varda in 2020. In their first year, they raised >$50M and hired a stellar team. Varda is leading in-space manufacturing starting with discovery and production of therapeutics and materials, and eventually chip fab.
It’s ambitious and less crazy than it sounds, given they've brought folks from @SpaceX , @Stripe, @Amazon, @Apple, @NASA, and @LockheedMartin. We’ll hear what Varda is all about and the lessons Bruey learned from the early days at SpaceX. Plus, we’ll learn how Bruey thinks about speed, and building a culture where people can laugh in the lifeboats.
