Mario Paniccia Put Light on a Chip. Now He Is Teaching Machines Not to Get Lost.
The former Intel Fellow spent decades persuading silicon to carry light. At ANELLO, he is using the same stubborn physics to help vehicles find their way when satellites cannot.
Mike Horton
Mike Horton is an American engineer and serial deep-tech founder who turns physics into products. He co-founded Crossbow Technology in 1995 out of UC Berkeley, commercialized MEMS motion sensors, and sold the company for about $50 million. He later built GEODNET, a blockchain-incentivized network of roughly 21,000 ground stations that has become the world's largest decentralized GNSS reference network, and now leads HYFIX Spatial Intelligence, a Santa Clara startup that raised a $15M seed led by Craft Ventures to build American-made positioning-and-autonomy chips for drones and robots.
