Oleg Rogynskyy.

Two decades building and leading in artificial intelligence. Three startups founded, two exits, and one scaled globally — People.ai, one of the first enterprise AI platforms to achieve true market leadership. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Iconiq, Lightspeed, and Index Ventures, it grew to hundreds of people across multiple continents and powered trillions in revenue & pipeline for global enterprises.

I left it in 2025 -- thriving, soon to be profitable, independent, and led by the next generation of leadership.

Today, I lead a battle-proven defense new-prime born in Ukraine, built on the hard lessons of real combat and the power of AI autonomy. With over a thousand engineers, operators, and mission specialists, we are scaling systems that have already rewritten modern warfare — drones, USVs, UGVs, interceptors, C2 — all unified by artificial intelligence and relentless iteration under fire.

Our mission: to prevent World War III by making defense operations 100× cheaper than offense — through mass, autonomy, and intelligence deployed at global scale.
