Bram SchorkFounder & CEO
Bram is a Caltech aerospace engineer who founded General Astronautics after building hardware reliability systems for SpaceX's Starlink Lasers, shipping industrial autonomous robots, and developing optical tracking systems at SBIR-funded startups. Microgravity unlocks better pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and advanced materials. The bottleneck is labor, not science, and robots can solve that now.
