Paul Huelskamp
Paul Huelskamp is the co-founder and CEO of Anode Technology Company, a San Francisco startup building AI-orchestrated mobile microgrids and battery energy storage systems that deliver grid-independent electricity to EV depots, data centers, construction sites, and live events. A renewable-energy financier turned hardware founder, he previously built and ran Moxion Power, which raised more than $110 million to replace diesel generators before it went bankrupt in 2024.

Rylan Hamilton
Rylan Hamilton is the CEO and co-founder of Blue Water Autonomy, a Boston defense-tech company building large, software-defined, uncrewed ships for the U.S. Navy. A Navy surface warfare officer turned robotics entrepreneur, he was an early leader at Kiva Systems (acquired by Amazon for $775M) and co-founded the warehouse-robot maker 6 River Systems (sold to Shopify for $450M). Now he is taking the 'mobile robot' idea back to the ocean - aiming to be the Waymo of the open sea, with a $50M GV-led Series A and a first full-scale autonomous ship slated for the water in 2026.
