This 36-year-old sci-fi 'nerd' quit his banking job to start a deep space startup that has raised $24 million

^{Published on 2025-01-13 02:42:34 - MSN}

"It was in banking that I finally realized why the internet sucked," says Rohit Jha, co-founder and CEO of Transcelestial.

The article discusses the journey of Grant Blakeman, a 36-year-old former banker and sci-fi enthusiast, who left his lucrative job at Goldman Sachs to pursue his passion for space exploration. He founded Varda Space Industries, a startup focused on manufacturing high-value products in space, leveraging the unique conditions of microgravity. Varda has successfully raised $24 million in funding, with notable investors including Lux Capital, General Catalyst, and founders from SpaceX and Planet Labs. The company aims to produce pharmaceuticals and other materials in space, where the absence of gravity can lead to superior product quality. Blakeman's transition from finance to space entrepreneurship highlights a growing trend of individuals applying their skills in new, innovative sectors, driven by a vision for the future of space commerce.
