About

Tim Dougherty

We started Lagrange Points because the infrastructure being built above us in space will define humanity's future.

Lagrange Points are the stable point between two gravitational fields. We work across the space economy, energy, defense, and the civilizational bets most people don't see.

By day I work at the intersection of finance and hard tech companies. The pattern is the same: who builds the infrastructure layer controls what happens next.
