The ICC is pleased to announce that Scott Tibbitts has agreed to become an ICC Space Entrepreneurship Mentor.
His story is an inspiring one, and our Venture Catalyst Space startups relate to the challenges, the highs and the lows of Scott’s adventure starting in a humble garage and going all the way to Mars. Over recent months Scott has been able to provide remote one-on-one mentoring sessions to our startups, from Colorado. We are glad to have Scott onboard with the ICC.
