EP 95 To Help Our World, We Need The Full Picture
Luke Fischer, CEO and Co-Founder of SkyFi, is changing the way we understand our world by opening our eyes wider to it. Luke grew up flying helicopters for the Army and has used his experience working in VC and at tech titans like Uber to harness the power of satellite imagery and make it easier for the world to access. The SkyFi Team is helping uncover issues that are not obvious. For example, in the middle of Chile lies several tons of fashion clothing that was discarded- These kinds of global issues are usually unknown to most of us, because we are not able to easily see what’s going on. Luke strongly believes that if we can continue to “Eas-ify” satellite imagery, this will enable folks on a mission to execute and do something about the greatest obstacles our world faces. This is not an easy process as satellite imagery has been historically bureaucratic and optimized for government agencies, but SkyFi is on a mission to make this consumer friendly (fast, easy and economical). Luke uses lessons learned from his time in Army Special Operations to guide his Leadership style and way he grows a business. A 70% solution is better than a perfect plan and iterating on failure is key to success. He also shares that his time at Uber taught him to take your time finding the right folks and even if you don’t bring them onto the Team, treat everyone like a customer. In the military we are used to accepting great personal risk- Up to death, but when we transition to the private sector many Warriors can be stunted by the financial risk needed to grow and create value in business. Luke shares that once we can acknowledge that we all have innate value and that even if things were to go to ZERO, we can find a way to get back on our feet and provide for our families, then we build the confidence to explore the unknown and truly create something great.
