Startups that are out of this world
Is anyone out there? 🔭
It’s 07.07, the Angel Number in numerology — and what some say is a sign that we are not alone in the universe.
Four decades after the release of E.T., tech entrepreneurs like Elon Musk are working hard to find out what else could be out there. Starting next week, NASA could even provide clues with its new $10B telescope.
The space industry rocketed to $400B over recent decades as satellites became an ever more integral part of everyday life, and last year alone VCs invested $17B into space. Tech companies are creating 3D-printed rockets, using moon rocks to fight climate change, offering lunar rovers as a service, and pushing forward a space tourism industry that’s expected to grow to $3B by 2030.
While some investors worry about an upcoming bubble burst, they note that NASA and the newly formed Space Force could prove to be stabilizing for fledgling tech companies.

A sky full of satellites 🛰️
Satellites are a major driver of the space tech economy, and with an increased focus on space travel and exploration, the satellite industry has seen strides in recent years.
The industry has grown rapidly as people across the globe rely on satellites for everything from video streaming to delivering medical supplies via drones.
Despite such incredible advances, over a third of the world’s population still remains without Internet access, leaving plenty of ground (or sky) for tech companies in the industry to cover. As old satellites go out of commission and float around the galaxy, there’s also that pesky problem of space junk to tackle.

Trending in tech 👾
Time off, with benefits
Studies show that employees want more flexibility, and employers are seeing the benefits of giving employees what they want. Happy employees lead to productivity, and with the most significant driver of employee happiness being trust, companies are brainstorming new ways to make their employees feel valued.
Nearly 3 out of 4 workers say that having unlimited paid time off would increase their company loyalty, and the trending benefit is continuing to gain popularity despite some controversy.
While UPTO can be an incredible benefit in flexible working environments, it won’t see the same results at companies that still thrive on overwork, triggering many companies to shift their cultures and adapt to the needs of new and emerging talent.
Automating everything
By 2025, some predict that machines will be responsible for just as much work as human employees.
Companies across just about all industries are embracing automation as a way to streamline their operations and deliver better experiences to customers.
Companies in food services, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, engineering, and more are leveraging automation to help keep their workers safe and conduct their work more efficiently. This is where automation engineers shine, and with so many open roles there are ample opportunities.
Fashion-forward
Tech companies are helping the fashion industry rebuild after losing significant ground during the pandemic. Every facet of the industry is being modernized, from the production of clothes to a growing interest in virtual clothing.
Artificial intelligence has helped companies in the fashion industry manage their inventory and optimize their supply chain. On the consumer end, AI is used to enhance the online shopping experience by giving shoppers personalized recommendations to match them with the right product.
With the integration of emerging tech, the fashion industry is moving quickly into the digital space with plenty of opportunities available.
