Described by TechCrunch as “among the best-positioned people on either the investment or the operator side to weigh in on the current and future state of the space startup industry,” Chad Anderson is the founder and managing partner of Space Capital, where he has been pioneering investment in the Space Economy for over a decade. Regularly featured in the media as an expert, Anderson has appeared in outlets including CNBC, Bloomberg, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Financial Times. In addition to his work at Space Capital, Anderson serves on boards including that of the Satellite Applications Catapult, an organization that supports the United Kingdom's national strategy to grow its space sector. Anderson has served as director of the board of the Explorers Club, a non-profit that promotes the scientific exploration of land, sea, air, and space. He was also a member of the User Advisory Committee for the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory. Prior to founding Space Capital, Anderson led a successful career at JP Morgan Chase, where he managed a $50-billion real estate portfolio through the Great Recession. He has an MBA with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation from the University of Oxford. Anderson lives in New York City with his wife, Radhika. An avid explorer in his free time, Anderson was among the first people to swim the circumference of the island of Islay, Scotland. Stopping at each of the island’s operating distilleries and filling a thirty-gallon oak cask with whisky from each, he bottled and sold the resulting blend to benefit the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Anderson also mapped the ancient mezcal trail in Oaxaca, Mexico, transporting a fifty-gallon oak barrel of actively fermenting agave pulp across the state and, in the process, creating the world’s most unique mezcal.
