Nathan Monroe
Nathan Monroe is the co-founder and CEO of Cambridge Terahertz, an MIT spinout building compact, affordable concealed-weapons detection. A PhD electrical engineer who demonstrated one of the largest terahertz phased antenna arrays ever built on standard CMOS, he shrank refrigerator-sized scanner physics into a device smaller than a toaster. After a school shooting marked his teenage years in Florida, he spent more than a decade at MIT turning terahertz sensing into a real product. Cambridge Terahertz uses safe, non-ionizing radio waves and AI to see weapons through clothing and packaging, and raised a $12M seed round backed by Amazon and Felicis.
Michael Green
Michael Green is the CEO and co-founder of Athena Security, an Austin-based company that builds AI-powered concealed weapons detection systems for schools, hospitals, casinos, and other public spaces. A Harvard-educated former family-business operator turned compliance-software builder, Green pivoted into physical security after surviving a close encounter with gunfire. He leads a roughly 110-person company that has raised $18.6 million to keep guns out of the places where people gather.
