The next era of the space economy is not just about rockets and satellites. It is about infrastructure, autonomy, and entirely new models for building and defending off-Earth assets. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 this October 27–29 in San Francisco’s Moscone West, the Space Stage is where this shift becomes real.

Building the New Backbone of Space
In this forward-looking panel, Even Rogers, co-founder and CEO of True Anomaly, and Max Haot, serial entrepreneur and founder of Launcher and CEO of Vast, take the stage to explore what is changing and what is needed to unlock a more sustainable and scalable space economy.
Rogers brings deep national security and defense experience from his years as an Air Force officer and space systems strategist, including time as a DARPA Service Chiefs Fellow and contributor to the foundational doctrine of the U.S. Space Force. Now he is deploying cutting-edge space technologies to protect orbital assets and reimagine how the U.S. ensures freedom of action in space.
Haot brings the commercial side of the equation as CEO of Vast and a multi-exit founder with companies spanning aerospace, livestreaming, and connected devices. Most recently, he led Launcher to acquisition by Vast as part of a mission to build artificial gravity space stations, making him a key voice in turning science fiction into capital-backed reality.
The Future of Space is not Theoretical — It is Operational
From new government-commercial partnerships to venture-backed orbital platforms, this session looks at the strategies and technology fueling the next wave of growth. It is a candid conversation for anyone betting on the intersection of space, innovation, and private enterprise. More space tech leaders will join this panel discussion, so stay tuned for updates.
