Varda’s William Bruey’s plan to build the next supply chain at Disrupt 2025

What will happen if the next industrial revolution does not happen in the world? William BrewFounder and CEO Varda Space IndustriesIt’s on a mission to prove that can — and does — happen in orbit He is taking the space stage TechCrunch Disrupt 2025Taking place Oct. 27-29 at Moscone West in San Francisco, to share how his team is transforming space into the final manufacturing frontier.

Space isn’t just for rockets—it’s for revenue

Brew’s talk is zeroed in on the factory of the future, where microgravity becomes a production tool, not a sci-fi setting. He’ll unpack how Varda is turning the vacuum of space into a production line for high-value materials — from new, life-saving drugs to stronger fiber optic cables, and why orbit may soon be the most lucrative real estate in the known universe.

Building factories among the stars

As a former SpaceX engineer who helped fly Dragon on eight missions to the ISS, William Brewey knows what it takes to innovate where gravity doesn’t apply. Now at Varda Space Industries, he’s pioneering a new kind of factory — one that orbits Earth, creates breakthrough materials, then re-enters the atmosphere to deliver products that can’t be made anywhere else.

Prior to launching Verda, Bruy 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 equally at home coding algorithms or flying his own comfortable MK4 aircraft. Learn more about this in his space stage session.

It’s not just a space story – it’s a startup story. Register for TechCrunch Disrupt And see how vision, physics, and initiative collide when Brewie takes the space stage.
