Listen "Ran Qedar - Taking Startup 'Space Products and Innovation' Through An Accelerator - CSP S03E11"
Episode Synopsis
Space Products and Innovation (SPiN) co-founder Ran Qedar is on the Cold Star Project to share his experience taking his space startup through the Techstars accelerator. Host Jason Kanigan asks Ran:
What problem did potential customers in the space industry tell you they were experiencing that lead to a prototype product?
SPiN's tagline is “Build a satellite like Lego”. This seems to match up pretty well with Cold Star's “Make Space Boring” mantra. Tell us what your intention with that phrasing is, and where it could lead to
What has your work with Techstars taught you? What stood out as a key factor that prior to working with them you would probably not have given as much importance to?
Techstars has strong messaging about “ecosystem development”. What has that translated in for SPiN?
What quality do co-founders need and what help to balance the team?
Who would you point to as having been integral to deepening your understanding of business and startups?
How is the European hardware space startups scene? How are startups supported?
