At the University of Texas at Austin, I was drawn to understanding how the best products get built. I hosted a speaker series to get at the heart of this question. Featuring companies like Saronic and Base Power, I developed a deeper appreciation for the complexities of defense and energy. After graduating, I worked in equity research covering Aerospace & Defense and Power, where I examined how these industries actually work, from procurement cycles to adoption curves.
I’ve learned that the best products come from founders who have lived the problem, with theses developed through years of experiencing, observing, and listening to the customers they want to serve.
At N47, I'm applying this lens across robotics, construction, space, and beyond. If you've spent time in one of these industries, have a thesis on how it’s about to change, and have built something to prove it, I'd love to see it.
