Patrick Callahan
Patrick Callahan is the CEO of Alquist 3D, a Greeley, Colorado company at the front of the 3D concrete printing industry. A West Point-era Army infantry officer turned defense-industry executive, he took the helm in October 2023 and steered the startup from emerging-technology curiosity into a commercial force, landing a landmark partnership with Walmart to 3D print store expansions across the country. He pairs two decades of defense business development - where he captured hundreds of millions in contracts at Critical Solutions International and AirBoss Defense Group - with a mission to make building faster, cheaper, and safer.
Peter McKee
Peter McKee is the co-founder and CEO of Aeqium, a San Francisco compensation-management platform that pulls HR and finance teams out of spreadsheet chaos and into a controlled, data-driven system for planning salaries, bonuses, equity, and benefits. An MIT-trained engineer who led self-driving rider experience at Uber and was an early backend engineering manager at Braze, McKee also served as a US Army officer running battalion combat-engineer operations in Afghanistan. He started Aeqium in late 2020 to make pay fairer, faster, and less of a fire drill.
