Lucas Raskin
Lucas Raskin is the co-founder and CEO of Guardian RF, a defense technology company building passive radiofrequency sensors that detect and track drones. A Georgetown physics major, he turned a 24-hour hackathon project into a Y Combinator-backed company, spent six months embedded with Ukrainian ground troops refining the technology in real combat, and landed on the 2026 Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Transportation and Aerospace. Guardian RF's palm-sized Scout sensors and Mosaic mesh network now protect critical infrastructure, defense assets and frontline soldiers from cheap, lethal drones.
Dmitry Turbiner
Dmitry Turbiner is the founder and CEO of General Radar Corp., a Silicon Valley deep-tech company building what it calls the world's first 100% commercial AESA phased-array radar with defense-grade performance. An MIT-trained electrical engineer who designed flight-grade satellite antennas at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Turbiner left a Stanford master's program to start the company in 2016. General Radar has raised more than $47 million across seed and Series A rounds from backers including Kleiner Perkins and Octave Ventures, and pioneered a 'Radar-as-a-Service' model that aims to deliver high-resolution, long-range threat detection in a fraction of the usual time and cost.
