This is not another ode to New York. It is a birthday card for my dad, a true New Yorker. medium.com/@tejpaul/miracle-…

Iceland’s space research and exploration capabilities are now connected with international suppliers and financing thanks to the partnership between @IcelandSpace and @NebraExchange. Grateful to the ISA team for the collaboration. 8ac04091.streak-link.com/DFW…

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned after a decade as an entrepreneur, it’s that any answer other than “yes” is “no” Run a competitive process, but don’t chase. More interest than expected? Great! Power is telling people no. Get what you’re worth, my kings and queens

One of my mentors is an under the radar billionaire who operates largely on handshake partnerships. He has a saying: “If we’re going back and looking at legal documents…we’re no longer partners.” It’s wisdom I didn’t appreciate at first, but boy has it proved accurate.

I moderated the Next Generation Space Infrastructure Plenary this week at IAC 2026. We covered orbital compute, satellite swarms, human spaceflight, and more. Historically, every space mission has been standalone, bringing everything it needed with it. To grow the space economy, we need shared infrastructure so missions can focus on what’s unique instead of rebuilding the same common systems. Thanks to Aayushi Doshi, Phoebe Dunbabin, Ezra Fielding, James Shin, and Manwei Chan for the great discussion, and to the @iafastro for the opportunity to bring this incredible group together.

Thank you @laurence_russel and @Via_Satellite for including my perspective on financing Europe's space ambitions. Europe is realizing that no single entity can build commercial space alone. The next phase requires a thriving market ecosystem. Full story: satellitetoday.com/finance/2…

At this particular moment in venture, there’s insane alpha in knowing your way around a balance sheet

Nebex and U.N. to work on supporting emerging space programs spacenews.com/nebex-and-u-n-…

My dad worked as a deliveryman for the deli in front of the Twin Towers. Everyday he would bring back home a list of names he delivered to & my pregnant mom chose Cheryl as my name. After the first 1993 bombing he left to become a taxi driver. Today is personal #neverforget

we need better payload markets @NebraExchange

a lot of talk about the compute bottleneck but also how are companies dealing with the SpaceX launch bottleneck?

Happy Rakhi to sisters and brothers across the universe!

The founder of Nebex, @tejpaul, explains that while many focus on manufacturing, the real hurdle in the space industry is the financial infrastructure required to facilitate complex cross-border procurement and trade finance Nebex will be the financial exchange for space

For years, the advice was to move to San Francisco if you wanted a career in tech. That advice is now wrong. New York has become the most exciting place in the world to build. A few reasons why: 1. The AI labs are here. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and hundreds of others all run meaningful operations in NYC. You can now build a serious frontier-tech career here without giving up anything. 2. Every major industry lives here, and so does its AI counterpart. New York doesn't only have "tech," but finance, media, advertising, fashion, healthcare, real estate, law, and commerce too, with their applied-AI layer counterparts being built on top of each one. 3. The talent pool is unlike anywhere else. SF gives you engineers. New York gives you engineers, plus world-class designers, salespeople, bankers, marketers, operators, creatives, and media people, all at the top of their fields. Companies will need all of them. 4. People actually want to live here. New York is unlike any other city with its density of restaurants, art, nightlife, fashion, and media - and the people working across these sectors. If you're building something and you're more than just tech, I'd argue there's only one city for you right now.

Thanks for the @Starcloud_ shoutout and great answer @tejpaul!

Thanks @lukeknight & @Ronanchamberss for having me on @etnshow Space Founders are finding revenue on @NebraExchange they never knew was reachable. $138 billion in government space spending, and most founders are only seeing a slice of it. Now there’s no excuse.

"What @SpaceX has done, which a few other companies have done in other industries, is they've created a wealth generation machine, a multi-generational wealth creation machine". @tejpaul on $SPCX unique stock incentive plan and why they stand out from other space companies: "SpaceX has a very interesting stock incentive plan where you can actually take your bonuses instead of cash as stock. The longer you let it vest, the more you get multiples". "No other space company is doing that. No other space company is capable of doing that." "SpaceX is a beast... They built a real business. They built a real good business".

No country gets to space alone. #Nebex is launching its €100M #France initiative: €1 of eligible space spending abroad → €1 of industrial return for French space companies. tech.eu/2026/08/17/nebex-lau… @NebraExchange

Big News for Space Founders: Today, we’re launching a €100M Industrial Return Initiative in France: €1 of foreign space spending matched by €1 of commercial opportunity for French space companies. (Thank you @Cate_Lawrence ) tech.eu/2026/08/17/nebex-lau…
