Barbara Belvisi, CEO & founder of Interstellar Lab, Inc., will give a virtual plenary address about her company and its mission at the 24th Annual International Mars Society Convention, scheduled for October 14-17, 2021.
Established in 2018 and located in Los Angeles and Paris, Interstellar Lab develops bio-regenerative modules and life-support solutions to make human life sustainable on Earth, Mars and throughout the solar system.
Ms. Belvisi started her career as an investment manager in a FoF management company, then moved on to private equity and finally venture capital, raising over $80 million. At the age of 28, she left to focus on her passion: science and technology. As part of this, she helped launch The Family, a Paris-based incubator, and Hello Tomorrow, an event fostering scientific innovation.
In addition, she established her own asset management firm, Elephants & Ventures, in 2013, which led to the founding of Hardware Club in 2015, a hybrid fund that focuses on robotics, hardware and IT.
This year’s virtual Mars Society conference will be free of charge (although donations are welcomed). For full registration details, please click here.
