Check out this fascinating conversation between SOSV General Partner Pae Wu and Steve Isakowitz, CEO of the Aerospace Corporation, a leading architect for the nationโs space programs, operating in the civil, national security and commercial realms.
In this episode, Pae Wu talks with Isakowitz about his illustrious career, which spans ๐๐๐๐, where he helped open the door to the commercialization of space, to ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐, where he raised $๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง, to government jobs at the OMB and DOE, to his current role helming Aerospace.
Isakowitz shares unique perspectives on:
- The unparalleled demands of space tech
- The rapid evolution in the category, where startups are breaking barriers
- Whether the future of space innovation will depend more on software than hardware
- How asymmetric technologies and commercial space are reshaping global conflicts
- And where the next massive opportunities for space startups will be.
From billion-dollar government contracts to Silicon Valley startups rewriting the rules, this episode reveals how the new space race is reshaping innovation, national security, and our daily lives on Earth.
"Startups, Space, and Boundless Frontiers," with Steve Isakowitz, on SOSV Deep Tech LIVE.

Welcome to SOSV Deep Tech Live, where we explore the frontiers of Deep Tech with the worldโs top technologists, founders, and researchers. Our moderators are the general partners of SOSV, โthe First Check in Deep Tech,โ a venture dedicated to human and planetary health.
In this premiere episode - โFrom the IRA to 'Drill Baby Drill.' What Now?โ - we dive deep into the policies and politics of the energy transition with Dr. Jesse Jenkins, a world-renowned expert in energy systems modeling, grid decarbonization, and U.S. climate policy.
A professor at Princeton University, co-host of Shift Key, and Leader of Princetonโs Zero Lab, Dr. Jenkins has been described by Time Magazine as "the scorekeeper for American efforts to transition to clean energy,โ and โthe wonkiest and most effective of the number crunchersโฆโ
Moderating the conversation, SOSV General Partners Duncan Turner and Katie Hoffmanโleaders of HAX, SOSVโs Hard Tech program.
Together, they unpack some of the most critical questions of our time:
What did the Biden administrationโs climate push really accomplish? How have the Trump administrationโs policies already changed everything? Where has investment in clean energy created unstoppable momentum, and where could uncertainty and funding freezes send things off the rails?We also explore:
How the AI boom is reshaping electricity demand Why โdrill, baby, drillโ could unintentionally spark a geothermal renaissance Whether tariffs and trade policies will help or hinder Americaโs industrial future, and How startups can survive and thrive in these uncertain times.From the bottlenecks stalling clean energy deployment to the hidden power of public utility commissions, this episode is packed with insights for anyone following the high-stakes battle over energy dominance, climate action, and deep tech innovation.

Tune in for the premiere episode of SOSV Deep Tech LIVE: โFrom the IRA to 'Drill Baby Drill.' What Now?โ featuring Princetonโs Dr. Jesse Jenkins on the energy transition
Moderating the conversation, Katie Hoffman, SOSV General Partner and member of our HAX program team along with Duncan Turner, SOSV GP and Managing Director of our HAX Program
The conversation with Dr. Jenkins could not come at a more critical moment. The Trump administration is overturning most of the Biden renewable energy agenda and promising to โdrill baby drill.โ At the same time, there is no disputing the fast rising demand for electricity, our badly outdated transmission grid, the huge momentum in nuclear and geo-thermal, and the worsening impact of climate change. How much did Biden accomplish, and how will markets and politics ultimately shape Trumpโs policies? Weโre eager to hear from Dr. Jenkins on those topics and much more.
This is the first in SOSVโs new Deep Tech LIVE event series, which features top technologists, researchers, and founders working on the frontiers of deep tech. The events will be live-streamed online and available later on-demand.
