About Raphael Roettgen

Raphael Roettgen is one of the few VCs who has built a global, multi-language content and education platform around space business—authoring an introductory book on the new space economy and related courses, and using these as on-ramps for new founders and investors into the sector. He is a recognized specialist and early advocate of in-space manufacturing, frequently publishing, teaching, and speaking about how microgravity-enabled manufacturing can unlock differentiated materials and biologics, giving him a distinctive thesis and network in a niche that many generalist space investors only touch lightly.
