What if the next industrial revolution doesn’t occur on Earth? William Brueyfounder and CEO of the company Varda space industryis on a mission to prove that it will possibly – and will – happen in orbit. He performs on the space stage at TechCrunch 2025 DisruptionOctober 27-29 at Moscone West in San Francisco to share how his team is transforming space into the final manufacturing frontier.
The savings resulting from late investments are still valid – but not for long. Save up to $444 previously on leave doors open on October 27and grab a plus one ticket for 60% discount while you are at it. Teams save much more thanks 15-30% discount on group tickets.
Space is not just about rockets – it’s about income
Bruey’s talk focuses on the factory of the future, where microgravity becomes a production tool, not a science fiction setting. He’ll share how Varda is transforming the vacuum of space into a production line of high-value materials – from latest life-saving drugs to stronger fiber-optic cables – and why orbit may soon turn out to be the most profitable real estate in the known universe.
Bruey is just one of the visionaries taking the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025. Check out the 200+ session program, see who else is speaking in the 250+ groupand find the perfect ticket price before prices go up.
Building factories among the stars
As a former SpaceX engineer who helped on eight Dragon missions to the ISS, William Bruey knows what it takes to innovate where gravity doesn’t apply. Now at Varda Space Industries, he is pioneering a latest sort of factory – one that orbits Earth, produces breakthrough materials, and then re-enters the atmosphere to deliver products that can not be produced anywhere else.
Prior to founding Varda, Bruey led Global Equities Technology at Bank of America and holds degrees in applied physics (Cornell) and systems engineering. A pilot and engineer at heart, he is as comfortable programming algorithms as he is flying his own Cozy MK4 plane. More information on this topic could be found in his session on the space stage.
