    Varda's Landing, Peter Thiel, & the Future of El Segundo, Delian Asparouhov, Founders Fund

    Peter Thiel, Delian Asparouhov, Molly O'Shea

    Delian, a recent father and Founders Fund partner, founded Varda Space Industries to commercialize space manufacturing by deploying a low-cost, Starlink-like re-entry capsule under new FAA regulations. By pivoting exclusively to small-molecule pharmaceuticals and utilizing novel ground-based centrifuge research, the company targets a per-mission cost of $3.5–$4 million while implementing risk-sharing agreements for flight discoveries. Complementing this venture, Delian leverages his operator experience to advocate for decentralizing investing culture and predicting Eastern Europe's economic rise over stagnating Western markets.
