Space Ventures Investors co-founder, managing director and partner Simon Drake is heavily involved in bringing the ability for regular people to invest in space companies. In his role as a space sector venture capitalist, he is able to pull data and see trends that help realizing this vision. In this episode of the Cold Star Project with host Jason Kanigan, Simon discusses:

- What is your vision of regular people being able to invest in space? What partners are you working with? Can one small investor really make a difference?

- What is stopping regular members of the public from investing in space companies? Why do we want the general public to be able to invest in space?

- What have you found in your own research about the willingness of investors to put money into space companies? What are they looking for in terms of time to return, rate of return, companies or projects to invest in?

- How do we avoid space investment by the public becoming a free-for-all driven by hype, so that there is solid value at the core?

- What legal/regulatory issues have you found in the way of public investment in space? What differences have you seen between European and North American markets?

- Are there any “unexpected results” you predict from opening space investing up to the public?
