What if we could map the Earth—and even the moon—with pinpoint accuracy from space? In the latest episode of Skin in the Game VC, Saxon Baum sits down with Clint Graumann, CEO of NUVIEW, to talk about how his company is making it possible.

Clint’s journey into space tech started with a winding road through optical satellites and Earth observation, ultimately leading to NUVIEW and a game-changing focus on space-based LiDAR. LiDAR technology uses lasers to measure distances with astonishing precision, but until now, it’s mostly been limited to airplanes and drones, covering small areas. NUVIEW is taking it global—literally—by putting this technology into satellites to collect data on a planetary scale.

Clint doesn’t just see LiDAR as a tool for Earth. With NUVIEW’s recent selection for a European Space Agency mission to map the moon, the company is helping humanity take its next big step toward understanding and utilizing space.

This episode isn't just about LiDAR. Clint offers his insights on the state of the space industry, comparing it to “the first inning, bases loaded, no outs.” He highlights Florida’s growing role as a hub for aerospace innovation and discusses how companies like SpaceX have completely reshaped the game.

From revolutionizing Earth data collection to mapping the moon, NUVIEW’s story is a testament to how the space frontier is becoming more accessible and practical than ever before. Tune in to this fascinating conversation and catch a glimpse of the future
