Arizona Space Business Roundtable

The Arizona Space Business Roundtable is a leadership forum promoting the state’s commercial space ecosystem.

The Roundtable’s primary activity is monthly meetings featuring industry, government, or military speakers, with ample time for both informal networking and facilitated discussion. Speaking topics range from corporate overviews to space policy matters to business plans; you can see a list of past speakers here. Members include public, private, and academic participants, including university students. Future activities will include educational outreach, economic development, and targeted public relations to promote the Arizona commercial space ecosystem. Most meetings are held in Tucson, but we also host meetings in the Phoenix area and elsewhere in the state.

Staying in touch via Slack

The following link will request a link that will let you join a Slack workspace named ‘ASBRT’. (For existing Slack users, this is separate from any other workspaces you may be part of. Slack allows you to register for multiple workspaces using the same email address, or you can use a different one. Just keep track of your passwords.)

I’ve set up a few default channels like #resources and #job-seekers, but it’s easy to add more. Click below to request the link (since apparently leaving it exposed here just attracts spammers).

Please follow the instructions in the link; that will let you login using the web client. You can also install desktop, iOS, or Android clients if you choose.

One thing deep tech / hard tech founders don’t appreciate enough: some of the best capital comes from family offices. Many are founder-operator types, think long-term, move quickly, well networked and generally understand industrial businesses better than VCs. Traditional venture

Sarbanes-Oxley was so obviously destructive that neither Sarbanes nor Oxley ran for re-election.

Handre @Handre

Sarbanes-Oxley turned going public into a $3 million annual compliance nightmare. IPOs dropped 76% in the decade after 2002 -- from 457 average annual IPOs in the 1990s to just 108 from 2003-2012.

The compliance costs hit small companies hardest (obviously). Goldman Sachs

“The median growth-stage venture-backed company cannot go public at a valuation that returns capital to the late-stage investors.”

True. And this is a real problem.

All the important discussions between founders and investors should happen BETWEEN board meetings. The actual board meeting should be (1) a fulfillment of legal requirements, and (2) a chance to have 2nd- and 3rd-tier managers present their work, and give them a chance to shine.

Todd Saunders @toddsaunders

Most early stage founders are bad at board meetings. I was one of them!

Not because they lack effort, but because they think the job is to impress instead of to operate.

After 38 board meetings as a CEO, I learned the opposite lesson: the best board meetings feel boring,

I used to phrase it as:

Startup CEOs can’t share their troubles with their employees because they’ll quit.

They can’t share with their investors because they’ll get fired.

And they can’t share with their spouse because she will say “You never should have quit that job at the
