- AnimalMuppet 4y agoHow does a 22 year old get the funding to start something like this?
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> How does a 22 year old get the funding to start something like this? By having SpaceX and Blue Origin on your resume. Noone was also in front of the FAA as a student, which turns heads.
- nerdsonpatrol 4y agoVery cool. I just read that he was the youngest person in the world to receive FAA clearance to fly a rocket to space. He was just 20yrs old... (⌐■_■)
- tlb 4y agoThey applied to YC in late 2015. I thought "Wild idea, but the founders know what they're talking about, have built stuff in the past, and understand the challenges." Other partners agreed and we gave them $120k. They built a prototype huge 3D printer on the cheap, showed it to more investors who were impressed enough to write checks, and it grew from there. I hop Tim or Jordan will write more someday.
