David Tuttle
David Tuttle is the cofounder and CEO of Rune Technologies, an Arlington-based defense software company building TyrOS, an edge-first, AI-enabled predictive logistics platform for military and contested environments. A former U.S. Army field artillery officer who deployed to Afghanistan, he later worked in aerospace and defense investment banking, led software teams within the JSOC enterprise at Fort Bragg, and ran command-and-control hardware work at Anduril before co-founding Rune in 2024 with Peter Goldsborough. He still serves in the National Guard. Rune raised a $24M Series A in July 2025 (over $30M total), and TyrOS has been deployed with U.S. Army and Marine Corps units.
Arthur Dubois
Arthur Dubois is the co-founder and CEO of Grid Aero, a Palo Alto-based autonomous cargo aircraft startup building what he calls 'the pickup truck of the skies' - rugged, unmanned aircraft capable of hauling thousands of pounds over thousands of miles to places conventional logistics can't reach. A Stanford-trained aerospace engineer who helped scale Joby Aviation and led engineering at Xwing before its acquisition by Joby, Dubois founded Grid Aero in 2024 after growing frustrated with the complexity and cost of retrofitting legacy aircraft for autonomy. In January 2026, Grid Aero raised a $20M Series A to bring its Lifter Lite autonomous cargo aircraft from prototype testing into real-world military and commercial operations.
