Skyler is the Founder and CEO of GRU Space, a San Francisco-based aerospace startup building the world's first lunar hotel. A UC Berkeley graduate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, Skyler built vehicle software at Tesla before contributing to a NASA-funded 3D printer project that flew to space aboard Virgin Galactic. He founded GRU Space in 2025 at age 21, becoming the youngest solo founder in Y Combinator's space tech history. The company uses in-situ resource utilization and robotic systems to convert lunar regolith into building materials for scalable habitats, backed by investors tied to SpaceX, Nvidia, and Anduril. Skyler's vision extends beyond tourism to permanent human settlement on the Moon and Mars.
