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.
