    The Up/Link

    Black truffle & gruyère gougère with gold dust

    Building Up/Link — an invitation-only SpaceTech summit capped at 200 participants

    Why this bite? Up/Link is curated, intimate, and intentional — like a perfectly crafted gougère dusted with gold.

    The Story

    Walter's latest venture, Up/Link, is an invitation-only SpaceTech Business Summit capped at roughly two hundred participants. No sprawling hardware floor, no theatrical spectacle. Builders of space infrastructure sit across from institutional buyers. This gougère — French precision, truffle luxury, limited and intentional — captures the discipline of going smaller to go deeper.
