Vlad Silchenko I’m a founder in stealth mode, building - an autonomous kinetic counter-drone interceptor operating without GPS, communications, or an operator in the loop, at under $1,000 per engagement. Highlights: • Selected for the 2026 Defense Innovation Unit Commercialization Fellowship • Berkeley Entrepreneurship Cup Winner • Admitted to UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business (Full-Time MBA Class of 2026) - one of the top 10 MBA programs in the world. • Officer in reserve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, holding a rank and trained in financial management and military economics. • Founder of Europe’s first facial recognition payment system. • Deputy Candidate for the Kyiv City Council. • Built and scaled my own ventures over the past 10+ years - including during full-scale war. I launched my first pioneering concept business as a sophomore in college, during a national revolution. Since then, I’ve led multiple ventures through political collapse, logistical chaos, and missile attacks - delivering both economic value and social impact, often under fire. If you’re serious about this space - as a builder, operator, or investor — I’m open to conversations that lead to action.
