Drew Wandzilak invests in real-world technology like rockets, nuclear reactors, and hardware manufacturing rather than typical software startups, backing companies such as Impulse Space, Aalo Atomics, Astro Mechanica, and Acorn Genetics while also hosting podcast conversations with founders and journalists in these fields. His approach is shaped by studying how people and organizations work rather than finance, leading him to write about preserving hands-on manufacturing knowledge and to believe that truly understanding a problem through conversation and observation makes the solution easy to design.
