Women Who Build: Natalie Rens, CEO and Founder, Astrea, on Adventure & Entrepreneurship, Smart Homes on Earth & Mars

It is often said that the most successful businesspeople follow their curiosity. Blending that with personal experience or association with the problem is a bonus! What is even better is to fight through every logistical hurdle to build towards your dream. I am so inspired by Natalie Rens’ life and her vision to build human settlements on Mars through Astrea! Astrea is currently building self-sufficient smart homes for human peak performance on Earth first, and will later ship them to Mars. What intrigued her about space? SpaceX’s Starman! Natalie is the CEO and Founder of Astrea. She is a neuroscientist and an AI buff who has worked extensively in the space, including launching a community of 2,500, dedicated to AI public engagement and education. Later, she worked as an AI specialist with the government of Australia at the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur. She is also a Nonresident Senior Fellow at Atlantic Council, an advisor to Proudly Human, and a Founding Board Member at Open Data Australia! Natalie studied Biomedical Sciences at Newcastle University and pursued her PhD at The University of Queensland. Above all, Natalie is such an evolved and persistent founder, all of us have so much to learn from her!
