After struggling with too many venture ideas after leaving Blue Origin, George Weinmann, MBA '04, recently decided to create his own venture studio to pursue them all. AstroWorks Ventures is based in George's hometown of New Orleans and is focused on aviation and space with a few other points of interest. New Orleans and the Gulf Coast has a much stronger aerospace heritage than most realize as the Saturn V booster, Space Shuttle Main Tank, and the Artemis Space Launch System were all largely built right her on the bayou (with most major American rocket engines tested next door in Stennis, Mississippi). With the local venture community having a bit of renaissance, George is excited to be building new global businesses from his office in the heart of New Orleans. George continues to travel frequently to Asia and spends about 120 days a year on the road. Photo caption: George and wife Beibei on a visit to Parliament at Westminster.
