Josh co-founded Space Forge in 2018. From kick-starting their mission to change the face of the space industry - making space work for humanity - Josh, and co-founder Andrew Bacon, have taken the industry leading startup from a garage in Bristol to raising the largest ever seed round in Europe by a Space Tech company. 

Space Forge is developing the world’s first fully reusable platform, to unlock the benefits of space for manufacturing and experimentation at scale.
