Private LP Cocktails with Astronaut & Planet Cofounder Chris Boshuizen
Chris Boshuizen joins Physical World for a private LP fireside about building before others believe. Followed by award-winning cocktails.
During Raise Week, Physical World is bringing together a select group of LPs for cocktails and a private conversation with Dr. Chris Boshuizen, Cofounder of Planet (NYSE: PL) and astronaut.
Chris started Planet around a radical idea: billion-dollar satellites could be significantly smaller, cheaper, and deployed at unprecedented scale.
That idea became the world’s largest fleet of Earth-imaging satellites. Planet became a public company. Chris became an astronaut.
Over award-winning cocktails and food from China Live, Chris joins Physical World founder Kelly Chen for a conversation on being truly early, lessons from building before the market believes, and where the next generation of physical-world companies will emerge.
