John and Ryan McLinko started Astranis in 2015. Both spent time in traditional aerospace and wanted to use geostationary satellites to deliver internet to billions of people, at a pace that would make traditional companies blush.

Astranis is now worth >$1B and is prepping deployments that will get internet to millions of people in Alaska and Peru. They build 2-7x faster than traditional companies, shipping a first prototype satellite in 3 months, and getting to space a year later.

This podcast dives into what makes Astranis move fast, including John's thoughts on when to go slow, and examples of scrappiness and hustle, like building their own clean room and using an SF park for satellite testing.
