Samson Williams is joining us from Fort Lauderdale, Florida where he plys his trade as a classically trained anthropologist who specializes in crisis management and business resiliency for banks, financial institutions and the odd government agency. When not in Florida, Samson can be found traveling the globe as CoFounder of MilkyWayEconomy, the cislunar ecosystem’s premier space economic think tank.

Since 2020 MilkyWayEconomy has been the economic facilitator for the Space Force Futures Workshops and, more recently, the Space Force Doctrine Group. Additionally, since 2023 MilkyWayEconomy has operated under a CRADA with Air Force Research Lab (AFRL)-SpaceWerx. Building off this foundation of working with the deepest pockets in The Space Economy, Uncle Sam and the DoD; Samson and his partner at MilkyWayEconomy, George Pullen, have become the oddest VC couple in the MilkyWay; investing in over a dozen astrapreneur startups and businesses solving the most challenging of 5th Industrial Revolution problems.
