Raphael Roettgen

I'm Raphael, founding partner at E2MC (Earth-to-Mars Capital) and cofounder of Prometheus Life Technologies and KickSky. I host the Space Business Podcast and teach space entrepreneurship and the new space economy at EPFL, ISU and other universities. Previously I worked in investment banking, hedge funds, and fintech, and I have degrees from Wharton, PUC-Rio, and ISU.

And my hot take is space startups should focus more on useful Earth products, not moon-landing headlines.
