I always get inspired hanging around founders. Thank you to these ocean entrepreneurs — Sampriti Bhattacharyya (Navier), Nelson Mills (Vatn Systems), and Steven H. (Fleetzero) — for sharing their stories as they build visionary companies advancing #maritimeautonomy. These CEO’s especially, are scaling up technology and teams rapidly with autonomous vessels above and below the water, and our conversation was expertly guided by industry veteran Caitlin Hardy (Ness Sea).

And what a great crew in the crowd! Founders, investors, operators… ocean hackers, ocean shipping co’s, ocean scientists… Thanks to all who joined for the discussion. Special thanks to our friends and partner Andrew Beebe and team at Obvious Ventures and our event sponsor Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.
