ANECDOTE

From Battery Tech To Maritime Defense Startup

  • Dante recounted starting from battery-tech work and pivoting to maritime drones after meeting a systems engineer and seeing strategic Indo-Pacific needs.
  • Early lobbying and operator engagement were part of their route to defense customers and funding.
INSIGHT

Endurance Over Depth For Maritime Deterrence

  • Albacore targets loitering munitions and long-endurance patrol, distinguishing itself from deep-survey platforms like Anduril's Dive.
  • Endurance (target ~30 days, 1,000 nm) and portability (two-person transportable) are central design trade-offs.
INSIGHT

RL As The Path To Stronger AI Capabilities

  • Eiso Kant built Poolside on the conviction that reinforcement learning (RL) would be the primary path to stronger model capabilities.
  • Poolside focused on enterprise and high-consequence use cases (defense, government) as early adopters.
