This week Andrew talks with entrepreneur & aerospace engineer Jordan Noone. In 2015, Jordan co-founded Relativity Space to build 3D printed reusable rockets — based on an initial concept drawn on the back of a coffee shop receipt. The company went on to build & launch the world’s first 3D printed rocket and today is valued at over $4 billion. Jordan is also the co-founder & general partner at Embedded Ventures, a venture capital firm investing in early-stage tech startups focused on space operations, digital engineering, & advanced manufacturing. In this conversation, Jordan shares how he turned a passion for “tinkering” and a love for Legos into the world’s first 3D printed rocket. You’ll hear powerful lessons about starting companies, building teams, & how to give yourself a “head start” on any project or venture. This conversation is about entrepreneurship, innovation, the power of following your passions, & so much more.
