Season 2 Episode 3: Flavia Tata Nardini – Fleet Space Technologies
Flavia Tata Nardini is connecting the world – one nanosatellite at a time, before moving onto her next project: connecting the Moon and Mars. A rocket scientist from Italy, now living in Adelaide, Flavia’s company Fleet Space Technologies is now attracting attention – and capital - from both Australia and the United States. Investors all believe in Flavia’s vision of the future: an interconnected Internet of Things (IoT) reliant on billions or trillions of sensors.
Founded in 2015, Fleet Space is deploying nanosatellites the size of a shoebox to democratize access to data. Through these technologies, the world is moving beyond the historic norm of billion-dollar satellites atop billion-dollar rockets, representing a step-change like the move from room-sized computers to smartphones.
Flavia is an inspiration for a generation of female founders but believes it’s her dtrive to be the best that built her success. And her advice for other founders? Don’t do it… it’s hard work! But if you’re passionate enough, she knows you’ll ignore that advice.
