Hi, I’m Genna! 💖
Welcome to my thought compendium.

This Substack is my little think tank—part deep dive, part brainstorming space, part personal journal. Expect unconventional insights, bold ideas, and candid reflections on space, STEM, and policy.
A Little Bit About Me
I’m a problem-solver, builder, and proud space nerd with a love for turning ideas into reality.
I grew up in Singapore, a small country with big ambitions (and only recently, a space sector to match). Coming from a place where space once felt out of reach, I’ve always carried a deep appreciation for access, opportunity, and the global collaboration it takes to build something beyond Earth.
I spent three years as a mechanical engineer working on CubeSat payload research, getting hands-on with small satellite technology. After that, I co-founded a generative AI company, worked in commercial remote sensing across international markets, and I’ve recently joined the Sales & Business Development team at PLD Space, Europe’s first reusable launch company. I’m also a Venture Partner at Beyond Earth Ventures, a space-focused investment fund backing breakthrough technologies for the off-world economy.
I live at the intersection of engineering, design, and strategy, where deep tech meets real-world impact. My work spans spaceflight, business, and entrepreneurship, and I’m always thinking about how these worlds collide to shape the future.
More than anything, I’m driven by curiosity, pushing me to tackle challenges from new angles and figure out what’s next.
What You’ll Find Here
Big questions about space, innovation, and how they shape our world.
Deep dives into the tech, trends, and business of the space industry.
Stories from the messy, exciting, unpredictable process of building new things.
Occasional detours into art, philosophy, geopolitics, or anything else that sparks curiosity.
The Community I Hope to Build Here
This isn’t just a newsletter—it’s a space for big ideas, honest conversations, and people who are curious about what’s next.
I want this to be a community for:
Thinkers & builders—people who love challenging the status quo and exploring new ideas.
Entrepreneurs & problem-solvers—those figuring out how to turn ideas into reality.
Space enthusiasts & deep tech explorers—whether you work in the industry or just love the bigger picture.
Anyone who’s ever looked up at the sky and wondered, “Where do we go from here?”
I don’t have all the answers, but I love asking the questions. If you’re curious about how space connects to the world around us, how big ideas become reality, or what it’s like to build something new, I hope you stick around.
