Visualizing the Deep Earth - CEO and Founder Christie Capper
Today Jesse talks with Christie Capper, founder and CEO of Deep Earth, which aims to visualize the subsurface by digitizing and unifying scattered underground data into accessible 3D maps. Christie describes her path from a toy-inventor upbringing to studying economics and mechanical engineering (robotics) at Claremont and Columbia, then working at SpaceX, interning at the UN and Boeing, moving into early-stage VC in Europe, and joining a fusion startup. Work in carbon removal and geothermal led her to subsurface problems; mining research highlighted boom-bust cycles and long development timelines, motivating a broader focus on faster-feedback markets like water, geothermal, utilities, and construction. She discusses pre-seed funding, network-driven early hires, first paying customers, lessons on pricing and execution, and how investor rejection sharpened the company’s focus.
