'Austinpreneur' interviews LIFT Aircraft's founder, Matt Chasen.

Joshua Baer, founder and CEO of Austin's very own Capital Factory (an awesome startup incubator in town) interviews our CEO, Matt Chasen.

Listen to the interview here.

We get a lot of questions about our origins at LIFT. This interview does a wonderful job digging into that, from the point of view of our founder. What we love about this interview is its comprehensive nature, Josh's insightful questions of course, and our outlook on the future: safety, strategy, and purpose.

We hope that this will bring to light much of how Matt and we approach this important opportunity to be a part of the history of flight. Enjoy.
