Mark Boggett
The Pioneer
The frontier and an appetite for the unknown, goes first.
Mark Boggett exemplifies the Pioneer archetype, having built the world's first listed space tech fund at a moment when institutional capital was largely absent from the sector. Throughout this interview, Boggett demonstrates a pattern of anticipating structural shifts before consensus forms, from recognising the satellite miniaturisation revolution to mapping the dual-use defense inflection driven by Ukraine.
“That can then be tracked from space. Let me give you a sort of simple example, ray band sunglasses. You can put a Bluetooth in the arm of your sunglasses. And when you buy your Rayband sunglasses, they'll ask you whether you want to pay four bucks a month to have a location-based service in the case that you lose them.”
“Believe that space is a capability for good. This new capability is going to generate trillions of dollars of value, will equally be applicable to every single vertical you can think of.”
“We consider this digital infrastructure that's being built around Earth to be the equivalent of a new internet. Right now, the companies that we're investing into are the Googles and the Amazons of the years ahead because this is going to change society. It's disruptive for businesses.”
“Broader areas. Some of them will focus around cost. Some of them will focus around time. So it depends what the particular customer requires. But this is absolutely huge. Let me put it into another context for you. So think about Google. What does Google do? Google is a search engine. You type in your search requirement.”
