Denis and James discuss: Denis' love for space, how to invest in the space sector, exciting moonshot SpaceTech on the horizon, SpaceTech low-hanging fruit, hardware investing, how most software is becoming commoditised, how to ride the AI wave, and a call-to-action for aspiring DeepTech entrepreneurs 💪
