Chris
CEO & Founder, Astronomic
I started my career as a software engineer in the enterprise. I met my first co-founder at a networking event — the kind of serendipitous connection that changes everything. We went through TechStars, raised venture capital, and after seven years, sold our B2B SaaS marketing tech company to a large public corporation.
A couple years later, I did it again — this time solo, in the orthopedic surgery space. Two exits. Two completely different journeys. Both taught me things I couldn't have learned any other way.
In 2019, I moved to Austin, Texas, and started asking a different question: what if I could multiply what I'd learned, instead of just applying it to one more company? That question became Astronomic.
Six years later, we've built one of the largest founder and investor networks in the country — through dinners, through mentorship, through showing up for thousands of founders who are in the middle of the hardest thing they've ever done.
Started as an enterprise software engineer, learning the craft of building scalable systems from the inside out.
Met a co-founder at a networking event. Together, built and scaled a venture-backed B2B SaaS marketing tech company through the TechStars accelerator program.
After seven years of building, sold the company to a large public corporation. The experience crystallized a deep understanding of what it takes to scale and exit a venture-backed startup.
Built, scaled, and sold a second B2B SaaS company in the orthopedic surgery space. Two exits. Two very different journeys.
Relocated to Austin and began building Astronomic — a tech-enabled venture studio designed to multiply the lessons of two exits into something much larger.
Six years building the network, the events programs, the mentor roster, and the platform infrastructure that Astronomic is today.
Founder Dinners are free. Investor Dinners are free for investors. We build trust before we ask for anything.
We don't send 500 people to a conference. We send six founders who are building the same thing to dinner together.
Our mentor network is built exclusively from post-exit founders — people who have actually done the thing they're advising on.
We are the rails. We connect founders, investors, funds, and communities — without vouching for any individual participant.
Through Orbit, we take 5% equity in the companies we serve and give 50% off services for life. Our success is literally tied to theirs.
We price services as fixed-price bundles because founders need to know what they're getting, not watch a billing clock.
Orbit founders issue Astronomic 5% equity on a SAFE and receive 50% off every service for the life of their company. We allocate 2% of that equity to compensate post-exit mentors who coach Orbit founders. Our success is literally tied to yours.
