Niosha Kayhani is Chief of Staff to the CEO at Muon Space, a Mountain View based end-to-end space systems company building LEO satellite constellations for climate, earth observation, and national security missions. A chartered mechanical engineer trained at the University of Portsmouth with an executive MBA from Warwick, he arrived in Silicon Valley after building innovation programs at Cubic in London and San Diego, a detour through Google in Dublin, and a first job tuning fiber-optic lasers at SPI. He holds ten-plus U.S. patents and, on the side, has founded Taurus Space, a company working on standards-aligned command-and-control for coalition defense networks.
Geolava is a San Francisco startup building a world model for the built world - a spatial intelligence layer that fuses satellite, LiDAR, aerial, street-level and government data into a foundation model you can query in plain language. It lets real estate owners, investors, lenders, insurers and operators analyze, underwrite, monitor and forecast physical assets, turning slow, manual property surveying into predictive property intelligence.
