Andrew Rush is Co-Founder and CEO of Star Catcher Industries, a pioneering space energy company building the world's first orbital power grid using optical power beaming technology to deliver on-demand electricity to satellites in Low Earth Orbit.

Andrew holds a BS in Physics from the University of North Florida and a Juris Doctor from Stetson University with a focus on intellectual property law, and began his career as a partner at PCT Law Group specializing in space technology IP.

A self-described Space Industrialist, Andrew believes power is the fundamental unlock for the space economy, driving his mission to eliminate the power constraints that limit every satellite in orbit today.

Andrew previously served as President and CEO of Made In Space, growing it into a profitable 140-person company and achieving the first-ever in-space manufacturing milestones, before leading the company's acquisition by Redwire where he became President and COO.

Star Catcher has raised $88 million in total funding, set a world record for optical power beaming, signed seven power purchase agreements, and is managing a commercial pipeline representing over $3 billion in projected annual recurring revenue.
