Baiju Bhatt is the Founder and CEO of Aetherflux, a space-based solar energy startup launched in 2024 that aims to beam power from orbit to Earth using infrared lasers. A first-generation American of Gujarati descent, Bhatt co-founded Robinhood in 2013 with Vlad Tenev, serving as co-CEO until 2020 and Chief Creative Officer until March 2024, helping to revolutionize commission-free trading. He holds a BS in Physics and an MS in Mathematics from Stanford and previously started two finance companies in New York before launching Robinhood. Inspired by his father’s career at NASA, Bhatt founded Aetherflux, which has raised \$60 million in funding with plans for a 2026 satellite demonstration to deliver clean energy to remote regions. He is a Forbes-listed billionaire with a net worth of $2.5 billion and an advocate for commercial space innovation. Shawn Ryan Show Sponsors: ⁠https://betterhelp.com/srs⁠ This episode is sponsored.
