Philip Scully moved from a career in traditional finance at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Capital Group, and Credit Suisse into co-founding Explorer 1 in 2021, where he focuses on areas like dual-use space and defense technology and the lunar economy and talks about space investing as a chance to be part of something that could change humanity for the better. Outside of his investing work, he serves as a Big Brother through Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and encourages other investors to build long-term relationships and stay active in the space community rather than chase quick wins.
