What does it take to fund the future?

I sit down with Denis Kalyshkin — a rocket scientist turned venture capitalist, futurist, and co-founder of multiple frontier tech ventures. Denis is a Principal at I2BF Global Ventures, a New York-based VC firm managing over $400M and backing companies in AI, space tech, SaaS, quantum computing, and deep tech.

We dive into:

✔Why growth isn’t just about capital — it’s about imagination
✔The overlooked opportunities inside “boring” industries
✔How to turn futuristic science into scalable, profitable businesses
✔Why iteration, failure, and vulnerability are vital for founders
✔The next wave of innovations in space tech, robotics, and quantum computing

This conversation is a masterclass in spotting opportunities at the edge of science, storytelling, and investment strategy.
