We are joined this week by Giovanni Pondolfi Bortoletto, co-founder and CSO of the Italian ground-segment-as-a-service provider, Leaf Space. As co-founder and CSO of this exciting NewSpace start-up, Giovanni has been through it all and played a pivotal role in it becoming the company it is today! Laurie Scott and Ewan Lawrenson sit down with Giovanni to discuss topics that include what it’s like to build a NewSpace company straight from university, the challenges and successes Leaf Space encountered as a start-up, where their future lies, and why the space market is looking increasingly exciting.
