Orchid Black | Scaling Sustainability from Earth to Space, with Sergio Gallucci

SUBSCRIBE:

‍

Cofounder and CTO of SCOUT, Sergio Gallucci joins Jim Barnish in this episode to talk about all things space and sustainability along his rocket-fueled entrepreneurial journey. He teaches us what sustainability in space means and how that can be valuable in other industries, while also building a company culture of excellence, and how data can better inform your strategy.

‍

3 Key Takeaways

Sustainability and collaboration among competing entities are key factors in the space industry, because of the inherent collaboration needed for projects (and problems faced) of this magnitude.
You don’t need to be a visionary with tons of ideas to be a successful founder. But you do need to develop a long view in your strategy, and build systems so you can test ideas as they come.
Your Key Progress Indicators (KPIs) can and should shift over time as your business evolves and you need to track different areas of growth.
