1 00:00:00,470 --> 00:00:03,140 The Future of business. Future of business, future of business. 2 00:00:03,140 --> 00:00:07,940 It's more global and more decentralised, making sure that enterprises that are a lot more responsible. 3 00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:12,410 Smart cities. More collaboration. Consumer driven productivity. 4 00:00:12,530 --> 00:00:16,100 Environmental and social responsibility. Global human centred. 5 00:00:16,190 --> 00:00:19,790 Purposeful individualised. Automation. Big Data. 6 00:00:19,850 --> 00:00:23,450 Climate Change. Space Exploration. Renewable Energy. 7 00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:31,780 Information security. Exciting and digital. Hello and welcome to the Future of Business Podcast. 8 00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:39,370 I'm your host Alison McArthur. Today will be venturing to the final frontier for a very special episode on the future of space. 9 00:00:39,550 --> 00:00:41,260 Once the stuff of science fiction, 10 00:00:41,290 --> 00:00:48,279 more and more companies are getting into the space business led by some big players that you've probably heard of Elon Musk's SpaceX X, 11 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,150 Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, and Jeff Bezos Blue Origin. 12 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:56,470 To help us understand how the sector is evolving, we spoke with Chad Anderson, 13 00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:02,140 CEO of Space Angels, an investment firm that specialises in funding space related start-ups. 14 00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:06,830 Todd recently joined us on the podcast via Skype. Welcome to the podcast. 15 00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:10,420 Thank you very much for being here with us remotely today. 16 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,900 So you were once a student here at SBC. 17 00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:21,160 Could you just maybe start by telling us what got you interested in space and how you went from business school to working in space investment? 18 00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:25,750 Yeah, sure. So prior to business school, 19 00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:37,330 I was in banking and just doing commercial real estate and I was spending a lot of time after work doing different things. 20 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:48,400 I was volunteering my time with Children's Theatre in Seattle and started a non-profit with some friends of mine in Morocco, 21 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,740 focussed on entrepreneurship and economic empowerment. 22 00:01:50,740 --> 00:02:01,630 And these things were really motivating for me and really what was getting me excited and making me want to spend my energy doing so. 23 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:09,639 I decided to go to Oxford because of this goal centre and because I wanted to focus my career on social entrepreneurship. 24 00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:16,300 So I went in 2012 and while I was there I really focussed my energy on that. 25 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:25,250 I led the Social Impact Club when I first arrived and yeah, I mean, it was the first time in my life where, you know, 26 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:30,639 since I was a teenager where I wasn't working two jobs or more and I decided to do 27 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,330 the program full time and spend my time thinking about what I wanted to do next. 28 00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:39,940 And I was following the news and what was happening in commercial space. 29 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,910 SpaceX had launched for the first time a customer to orbit a few years earlier. 30 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,180 And in 2012, when I was at Oxford, 31 00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:58,779 the Space X connected with the space station delivered cargo for NASA to the space station, rather, spacecraft down safely. 32 00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:02,620 And they became the fourth entity in the world to do that. 33 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:10,180 The others were all national superpowers, space superpowers, so the U.S., Russia and China. 34 00:03:10,270 --> 00:03:17,950 And so we were witnessing, you know, private companies do something that was previously unthinkable. 35 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:27,490 I had grown up on sci fi and it was an interest of mine space, space exploration, business of space. 36 00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,670 This was all very interesting to me and I spending a lot of time following the news, 37 00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:39,550 but I never once considered even the possibility that there would be a role for someone like me in, you know, to make a career out of it. 38 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,359 I do notice this. Yeah. A lot of the people that probably end up working industry, they always wanted to, 39 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,249 you know, they were you love space as a child and they wanted to be an astronaut perhaps. 40 00:03:51,250 --> 00:04:00,430 Or they were just fascinated by the area. So it's it's I guess it's nice that you've managed to, to carve out a living for yourself in that area. 41 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:10,030 Yeah. I mean, it was really the time off that allowed me that to stop and think and say, you know, what I wanted to do with my career next? 42 00:04:10,030 --> 00:04:12,690 And there was this opportunity opening up. 43 00:04:12,730 --> 00:04:20,260 The biggest barrier probably was everyone that I talked to in the sector had some kind of science, technology, engineering type of background. 44 00:04:20,770 --> 00:04:25,749 And I was, you know, business. I'm an economics finance undergrad and, you know, an MBA. 45 00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:34,479 So I began doing informational interviews and asking people, talking to anybody I could that would talk to me and asking them, you know, 46 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:40,450 is there a place for someone like me with my background in the sector where everyone has a technical background and they said, 47 00:04:40,450 --> 00:04:46,170 yes, you know, it's just starting to grow. And we it's full of technical people. 48 00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:48,370 We don't have business people to help manage its growth. 49 00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:53,139 Yeah, that's is kind of good to know for I imagine a lot of people that are listening to the podcast that, 50 00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:56,560 you know, are either MBAs or thinking about an MBA or have a business background that, 51 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,070 you know, you can't go into an industry that you're passionate about that might not, 52 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,140 you know, obviously kind of align with your your skill set or background. 53 00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:08,790 So you are currently the CEO of Space Angels. 54 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,650 Could you just give us an overview of what it what it does and how important it is for, 55 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:18,490 you know, Start-Up Space Start-ups are growing companies to get angel investment. 56 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,229 We're a bit of a unique model of something of our own invention. 57 00:05:23,230 --> 00:05:27,170 And so Space Angels was actually around for a few years before I did. 58 00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:32,140 Joined. It wasn't much of a business model and it was an Angel Network. 59 00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:38,820 So a group of volunteer is kind of loosely formed and it was more of an investing club. 60 00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:46,560 We tried to move as far away from the Angel Network model as possible and essentially re founded the company. 61 00:05:47,010 --> 00:05:50,489 What that meant was we we created what we call an angel fund. 62 00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:58,950 And so we invested in an online platform which allows accredited investor members to come on, 63 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,930 get access to a lot of information about these start-ups and then invest through us. 64 00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:12,150 And then we manage it just like a venture capital fund. And so the Space Angels Angel Fund, we've been growing now since 2015, 65 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:20,580 and we have almost 30 companies in our portfolio and we've invested 12, 13 million through that Angel Fund. 66 00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:26,880 And in 2017, we launched our venture capital fund, which is a venture capital fund in the truest sense. 67 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,190 It's called space capital and invests the two funds invest alongside of each other. 68 00:06:32,610 --> 00:06:42,030 And so we are in the process of closing that fund now, and it looks like it's going to be somewhere between 16 and $20 million in that fund. 69 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,440 And so really what we do is space specifically. 70 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,759 So we're a sector focussed fund and we focus on seed and series opportunities. 71 00:06:53,760 --> 00:07:03,260 So really early stage companies and we try to be the first check in so we invest globally and so we're looking at companies everywhere. 72 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:11,760 Just this last quarter we invested in a company in Singapore, in the UK, Switzerland, a couple in the U.S. and a couple in Canada. 73 00:07:11,910 --> 00:07:17,220 It's a really interesting time for the sector and space start-ups in particular. 74 00:07:17,550 --> 00:07:23,350 Prior to Space X first launching in 2009, there wasn't a whole lot of entrepreneurial activity to speak of. 75 00:07:23,370 --> 00:07:30,989 There was maybe a couple of dozen privately funded space companies globally, and what they did was effectively bring down the barriers to entry. 76 00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:37,560 So they brought the cost way down and they brought transparency to the market and they published the pricing. 77 00:07:37,950 --> 00:07:46,020 So now entrepreneurs could understand how much money they needed to go raise to build a business based on satellite hardware, satellite data. 78 00:07:46,470 --> 00:07:50,010 And so we've seen the market just grow exponentially. 79 00:07:50,010 --> 00:07:59,370 So we've gone from a couple of dozen privately funded companies to now 435 plus today, and they've raised $20 billion over that period of time. 80 00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:05,100 And so really what we do is, as the most established investor in this sector, 81 00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:09,360 we're really out looking for all the best opportunities as they become available. 82 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,459 So as the next barrier to entry falls and there's new opportunity for entrepreneurs, 83 00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:18,090 we want to be there first looking for those gaps in the market and looking for the 84 00:08:18,090 --> 00:08:22,830 entrepreneurs that are best positioned to take advantage of the ageing landscape. 85 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:29,130 Hmm. Yeah, I know. Certainly I know this space least, at least for me has like really sort of, 86 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,409 you know, brought this space industry, I guess, into into my, my area of awareness. 87 00:08:34,410 --> 00:08:41,580 And, you know, I guess the house like Elon Musk, you know, making these big claims like he wants to like colonise Mars and really exciting things. 88 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:46,559 But, you know, some amazing things have been achieved recently like the such as like the Falcon heavy launch. 89 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:49,709 I mean, that was pretty incredible to watch. 90 00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:56,520 And then I guess in terms of as you mention it, I guess it sort of fosters a lot of space related start-ups. 91 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:02,370 But in terms of investors and people that are sort of investing in these companies he he deal with. 92 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:09,209 I mean, are they people who are really excited that they're excited about SpaceX and they care more about the, 93 00:09:09,210 --> 00:09:12,960 you know, the opportunities for the space industry to shape the future of humanity? 94 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,639 Or is is it more a commercially, economically motivated decision or is it. 95 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,180 It is a bit of both. That's a great question. And it's dynamic. 96 00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:25,950 So it's changing over time as the industry evolves. 97 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:33,780 So to do. Does the investor base, so too does the calibre and quality of entrepreneurs that are involved? 98 00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:40,770 When I took over based angels and you know, was it was experimenting with business models and we were already founding the company back then. 99 00:09:41,130 --> 00:09:46,260 It was really difficult to get investors excited about what was happening. 100 00:09:46,260 --> 00:09:52,829 Most of them at that time were or what you said, you know, they're really enthusiasts, people who are investing for impact. 101 00:09:52,830 --> 00:09:59,280 Right. They were really wanted to see their vision of space become a reality. 102 00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:05,190 They were children of the Apollo era and wanted to see, you know, humanity take those steps forward. 103 00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:07,050 They were really investing for impact. 104 00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:17,550 And as things have evolved, as more entrepreneurs have come into the sector, they're they've attracted more capital. 105 00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:21,970 And as they've attracted more capital, we're attracting more sponsors to the sector. 106 00:10:21,970 --> 00:10:26,820 Right. So it's a virtuous cycle that, you know, it's kind of a big wheel that takes. 107 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,030 A lot of energy to get moving. But now that it's moving, it's moving really, really, really quickly. 108 00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:41,380 So today it's much different and that most of, you know, a lot of the investors that we're seeing now are really more mainstream investors. 109 00:10:41,390 --> 00:10:48,740 We're seeing a lot of finance first investors, meaning people who are investing really for financial returns. 110 00:10:48,740 --> 00:10:56,360 They don't really care what they're investing in because they're starting to see the opportunity, the financial and economic opportunity and space. 111 00:10:56,390 --> 00:11:01,219 Yeah, I can imagine this sort of huge upside potential on this sort of thing, 112 00:11:01,220 --> 00:11:07,250 particularly as it becomes more commercialised in the future, maybe long term, long term investment. 113 00:11:08,090 --> 00:11:12,919 So I know you mentioned that you're very interested in sort of social enterprise and 114 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,090 you've spoken about the space industry as like the ultimate social impact area. 115 00:11:18,050 --> 00:11:21,140 What does responsible business look like in the space sector? 116 00:11:21,710 --> 00:11:30,980 There's really two pieces to this. One is the abstract and that every astronaut that's been to space, 99% of them that you speak to, 117 00:11:31,220 --> 00:11:40,640 they will tell you that that when you see Earth from outside, it's a really has a really profound impact on them and their perspective. 118 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,380 And they gain this new enlightened perspective, a sense of responsibility and connectedness. 119 00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:56,090 And I think that, you know, so far we've had 500 people, maybe a few more go to the space station and experience that. 120 00:11:56,930 --> 00:12:01,030 We're now entering an era where we're going to have, you know, thousands, hundreds of thousands, 121 00:12:01,050 --> 00:12:05,210 millions of people going up and and getting this new enlightened perspective. 122 00:12:05,690 --> 00:12:09,019 And so I think, you know, a lot of the big problems that we have here on Earth, you know, 123 00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:19,009 any of the U.N. sustainable development goals like famine, disasters, you know, you name it, all of these are preventable. 124 00:12:19,010 --> 00:12:22,720 And we we have the resources to stop them. It's the will that we lack. 125 00:12:22,730 --> 00:12:33,350 And so I really like space from that perspective that it has that ability to profoundly impact humanity in the abstract, 126 00:12:33,710 --> 00:12:39,800 but then also in a very practical level space, I don't think gets the credit that it deserves, 127 00:12:40,130 --> 00:12:44,090 particularly with regards to how it enables our modern global economy. 128 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:50,059 Basically, everything that, you know, today wouldn't function without space, without GPS, 129 00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:54,280 particularly, for example, precision timing allows for our financial markets, 130 00:12:54,350 --> 00:13:01,700 GPS enables our global shipping lanes and enables the aircrafts and the volumes of 131 00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:06,590 aircraft and and international airline flights that we have today all the way down to, 132 00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:12,500 you know, how we get around with Uber and Lyft and location based services like food delivery and what have you. 133 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:16,220 It's hard to imagine in the world today without GPS in it. 134 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:22,820 And so that's a really sort of foundational layer for space and how it impacts our everyday lives. 135 00:13:22,820 --> 00:13:27,500 But then also all of these new satellites that are going up that are going to be 136 00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:32,690 observing Earth from space are enabling us to do things like precision agriculture, 137 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:40,010 combating hunger, monitoring our oceans, monitoring our infrastructure, monitoring our forests and making sure that they're safe. 138 00:13:40,490 --> 00:13:47,000 So there's a lot of impact on the Earth observation side as well, which is growing like mad in space at the moment. 139 00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:54,739 Absolutely. And it sounds absolutely fascinating. It's so interesting to see so many private companies come into this space. 140 00:13:54,740 --> 00:14:00,979 And it seems like a lot of them have an international scope, which is quite interesting because the space industry, 141 00:14:00,980 --> 00:14:06,470 I guess, particularly space travel, has historically been seen as a very sort of national thing. 142 00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:14,990 You know, how how is this sort of, you know, given that a lot of these new enterprises sort of maybe have like an international reach? 143 00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:22,069 How does how does that work? Is there some sort of enter country corporation or are there more public private partnerships being established? 144 00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:29,420 How does the how does that all fit together? It's really dynamic and it's happening on a number of different axes. 145 00:14:29,420 --> 00:14:40,940 So in the US, the government has done, you know, it's for decades now it's really been established that there's a handful of companies, 146 00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:45,620 government and defence contractors and one customer, you know, 147 00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:56,059 the government and Nasser has is split on this, but it's slowly starting to come around. 148 00:14:56,060 --> 00:15:04,010 But around 28, 29, there was a few really forward thinking people who enabled this new type of contract where instead 149 00:15:04,010 --> 00:15:10,910 of basically funding the development of hardware like large launch vehicles and things like that, 150 00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:16,370 they would instead say, we don't really want to own or develop a rocket. 151 00:15:16,370 --> 00:15:19,850 What we what we want to do is get people and cargo to the space station. 152 00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:23,480 So if somebody can do that for us, you know, here's a price that we're willing to pay. 153 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:26,960 And so this transition from them being a. 154 00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:36,870 Benefactor or development funder to a customer is really what's enabled a lot of the the private sector entrepreneurial 155 00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:42,959 approaches to space in the US and we're seeing a number of countries around the world start to piggyback on this. 156 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:50,370 And so in the US it first started with commercial cargo, which space X in 2012, that's the contract that they were on. 157 00:15:50,730 --> 00:15:54,450 Boeing and SpaceX X have those contracts. Now they're moving on to commercial crew. 158 00:15:54,450 --> 00:16:01,019 You've probably seen some headlines about this, where they're going to, you know, instead of just launching robotic cargo missions now, 159 00:16:01,020 --> 00:16:06,930 they're going to be launching autonomous human missions, taking NASA's astronauts to the space station. 160 00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:14,670 And they're leveraging this same type of contracting approach to the new things that they're trying to do with the moon. 161 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,019 For example, the actual lunar payload services program is two and a half billion dollars over the 162 00:16:22,020 --> 00:16:27,629 next ten years for small and medium lunar landers to basically take NASA's cargo, 163 00:16:27,630 --> 00:16:31,650 which would be small robots and science instruments to the moon, to the lunar surface. 164 00:16:32,460 --> 00:16:39,840 So that's very exciting. And there we're starting to see that play out now with the human lunar landers as well. 165 00:16:40,770 --> 00:16:49,080 You know, tying in with the Jeff Bezos announcement. Yeah, it'll be really exciting to see what happens over the next few years. 166 00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:54,480 I know that you you recently wrote that 2019 is the year of commercial space travel. 167 00:16:54,480 --> 00:17:01,379 So do you think that space travel will reach the masses at some point in the next, I don't know, five, ten years? 168 00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:06,630 What do you think the timeline is for that? And most importantly, do you think you'll be on one of the flights? 169 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:10,010 Is that what you want? Well, I certainly want to be. That's yeah. 170 00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:15,090 My little secret. The reason why I'm doing all of this is just so I can get a discounted flight. 171 00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:24,000 Oh, yeah. Oh, no. But I think this is happening a lot more quickly than most people realise, and it's not happening overnight. 172 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,830 There's been a lot of time and energy and capital put into these projects, 173 00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:33,360 into these companies that we're just starting to see come to fruition at the same time. 174 00:17:34,020 --> 00:17:41,220 So since the shuttle was retired in 2011, the U.S. has not had a launch capability to take humans to orbit. 175 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:50,730 The only vehicle that we've had is the Russian Soyuz, and it has taken all astronauts to the space station over this over this period. 176 00:17:50,730 --> 00:18:00,570 That's all starting to change really this year. So we've seen SpaceX and Boeing both have commercial crew contracts with NASA's. 177 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,989 And they are there's there's some struggles with that program. 178 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:16,020 And as you'd imagine, SpaceX sent up their first Dragon crew capsule to the space station without crew as a demo one mission earlier this year. 179 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:24,780 And it was a fantastic success. They've had an explosion that they're working through with NASA now and a test vehicle since then. 180 00:18:25,260 --> 00:18:35,309 And but they were supposed to launch in August, I believe, and that might now get pushed out to early next year and Boeing as well. 181 00:18:35,310 --> 00:18:39,480 But that's coming, you know, in the next 6 to 12 months. 182 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,830 We're going to start to see some developments there. 183 00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:46,890 And I wouldn't be surprised if we see astronauts get to the space station on these commercial vehicles. 184 00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:49,110 So that's very exciting. 185 00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:57,540 Then we'd have three vehicles online later this year or early next year, and there's also two suborbital vehicles being developed. 186 00:18:57,540 --> 00:19:05,070 So obviously, Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic has been working on this for quite some time. 187 00:19:05,730 --> 00:19:14,370 Their Spaceship two had a great success earlier this year where they took two pilots, took their astronaut trainer up. 188 00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:21,809 And so they had three people go up and get their astronaut wings. And they've just now moved from the Mojave Desert in California, 189 00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:29,100 which is where they're doing all their testing now over to New Mexico and Spaceport America, where they're going to begin commercial operations. 190 00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:33,540 And so they're looking to start taking passengers later this year. 191 00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:41,250 And obviously they've had I forget the exact number, but it's somewhere around 700 or more people have paid deposits to go. 192 00:19:41,910 --> 00:19:45,420 So they're going to start start taking those people to Space and Blue Origin. 193 00:19:46,050 --> 00:19:52,590 Jeff Bezos space company has launched their new Shepard vehicle now 11 times. 194 00:19:52,920 --> 00:20:01,409 Two boosters, two rockets have flown five times each without incident and are making great progress. 195 00:20:01,410 --> 00:20:04,620 And he's just confirmed that they're going to begin flying people this year. 196 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:12,510 So we're going to go from one vehicle that can take people to the edge of space or to space to five vehicles later this year or early next year. 197 00:20:13,050 --> 00:20:20,370 And we're now entering an era where instead of a few hundred people who have the right stuff going to space, 198 00:20:20,370 --> 00:20:24,239 people are, you know, you're going to be out at a party and you're going to be talking to somebody who's just gone. 199 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:31,450 It's expensive still, so on. Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic go to the edge of space is still $250,000. 200 00:20:31,870 --> 00:20:37,059 So it's no it's you know, it's a significant amount of money, but it's much more affordable. 201 00:20:37,060 --> 00:20:42,129 And a lot of people that's in a lot of people's price range that's so interesting to think that you just, 202 00:20:42,130 --> 00:20:46,600 you know, a few years ago, you know, everybody thought that would be possible even in our lifetimes, perhaps. 203 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,530 But now that's so interesting. And we get to keep an eye on that. 204 00:20:50,830 --> 00:20:55,600 Wonderful. Well, Chad, thank you so much for joining us.
