David Zagaynov
David Zagaynov is the CEO and co-founder of Poseidon Aerospace, a San Francisco aerospace startup building unmanned, runway-independent cargo aircraft. A UC Berkeley computer science graduate and former Amazon software engineer, he co-founded the company in 2023 with Parker Tenney and Isaac Baumstark around a shared obsession with the ekranoplan, a Soviet Cold War boat-plane that skimmed just above the water. Poseidon is developing the Heron seaplane and the Egret short-takeoff aircraft, each designed to haul up to two tons of cargo over 1,500 miles. The company raised an $11 million seed round in November 2025 led by Tamarack Global, after a $1.4 million pre-seed led by Starship Ventures.
Raymond Wang
Raymond Wang is the Co-Founder and CEO of AeroVect, a Silicon Valley startup building AI-powered autonomous driving systems for airport ground support equipment. A Harvard computer science graduate (Class of 2020) who grew up in Vancouver, Canada, Wang came to aviation obsession early - as a high school student he won the $75,000 Gordon E. Moore Award at the 2015 Intel ISEF for an invention that reduced pathogen transmission on aircraft by 55x, and later gave a TED Talk on the subject. At Harvard he co-founded Civology (YC W20) before pivoting to AeroVect, where he and co-founder Eugenio Donati built the world's largest airside driving dataset and deployed autonomous tractor systems at major hubs including Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson and Dubai International. Named to Forbes 30 Under 30 (Manufacturing & Industry, 2022), Wang is reshaping the last 500 feet of global logistics - the chaotic tarmac - with self-driving software built from scratch for the airport environment.
