  • Talking to a pioneer of the civilian space industry, Frederick Giarrusso - Episode024

    In this episode Tom talks to Frederick Giarrusso.

     

    Fredrick founded a company called Rotary Rocket back in 1995, a company which was a pre cursor to the likes of Space X and Virgin Galactic. Since then he’s leveraged his expertise in this field to help projects in the advance technologies sector raise finance and bring ideas to market. Strictly speaking he works in the private equity, but his business and personal story are far more interesting and nuance than that industry name or job title would suggest.
