“Our founders Rylan Scott and Austin have led and scaled robotics companies from kitchen table to exit, have developed hardware products from concept to factory floor, and have spent years at sea from ship engines rooms to naval combat watchfloors. Our team is built of, by, and for true builders. And our team is growing,” the company said in a press realease.
Our mission – build an autonomous ship that can deliver capability the Navy has long sought – is not an easy one. But it is a mission that we embrace at a moment when democracy itself needs naval power.
