Shashank Churukanti, McC '12

Venture Associate, Evergreen Climate Innovations

I previously worked for 10 years at SpaceX in the Avionics department. The majority of my time was spent on technical program management on the Avionics architecture of the Falcon launch vehicle and integrated opto-mechanical design for an in-space laser communication device. My specific areas of focus was system design, as well as the hardware development for the interfaces between electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements. Since leaving SpaceX, I have worked at a Seed-stage venture capital firm focusing in the sustainability space. I can help you with expediting hardware product development cycles, and preparing pitch and fundraising materials prior to meeting with investors.
