Ian Cinnamon
$3B — The Henry Ford of satellite manufacturing

Ian Cinnamon Y Combinator

Founder & CEO — Apex

Ian is building the company that makes the satellites everyone else flies on. Apex has raised over $700M and reached a $2.3B valuation, scaling high-rate satellite production for the next era of orbit. A front-row seat to how the space economy actually gets built.

Skyler Chan
First hotel on the Moon

Skyler Chan Y Combinator

Founder & CEO — GRU SPACE

Skyler is engineering the next human frontier — Gru is building the first hotel on the Moon. He graduated early from Berkeley EECS, worked on vehicle software at Tesla, launched a NASA-funded 3D printer into space, and trained as an Air Force pilot at 16. The early-stage edge of the space race, in the room.

About RippleTalks

We bring top founders into the room with the icons who built the path.

RippleTalks produces invitation-only evenings where the most ambitious founders meet the people they admire most. No panels for the sake of panels — just honest conversation, real connection, and rooms engineered for serendipity.

Every detail — the guests, the room, the people — is curated by RippleTalks.
