Jonathan Polotto

CEO | Involve Space

Jonathan began his journey at 16 by launching a self-built probe into the stratosphere. That experimental mission ignited his lifelong drive to innovate in aerospace. After gaining experience in communication for international brands and building a successful entrepreneurial career in that sector, he founded Involve Space in 2021. The company focuses on innovation in Earth observation for commercial, defence, and scientific applications, enabled by data generated through advanced stratospheric platforms and processed with a proprietary AI that turns data into decision‑making. Under his leadership, the company has raised over 16 million euros and carried out dozens of commercial missions. Along the way, Jonathan earned degrees and advanced certifications in Space Studies. His story is one of calculated risks, big dreams, and relentless pursuit of impact, driven by the belief that the edge of the stratosphere is just the beginning.
