In this episode of Strata, Matt Oguz sat down with Robert Carlisle, cofounder and CEO of Argo Space—a next-generation space company tackling one of the hardest problems in aerospace: building infrastructure for orbit.

Robert shares his journey from working at SpaceX—alongside his two brothers, now also cofounders—to launching Argo with a mission to deliver modular, scalable solutions for propulsion, payload integration, and in-space operations.

We talk about what it takes to start a space company in a capital-intensive, risk-sensitive industry, the transition from elite aerospace to startup life, and why Argo believes the next big frontier isn't launch—it’s what happens after you're in orbit.

For investors and founders interested in space, defense, and frontier tech, this is a conversation full of hard-earned insight and forward-looking vision.
