Cosa fa Ravn

Ravn is a DefenseTech company building a heads-up display for soldiers that will allow them to see around corners. In doing so, we allow them to see the enemy and react while they're still behind cover. Our lightweight heads-up display displays videos feeds from a camera on a gun, to drones, robots or other external platforms. Our heads-up display will become a soldier's most relied upon computer. We currently have four team members, all very experienced in their respective fields. Jake, the Founder, is a former Navy SEAL and understands the market and product. Our Chief Science Officer, Karl Guttag, is an industry leader in the optics and display space. Our VPs of Software and Hardware are both very experienced in their fields. Our primary technology focus is on peer-to-peer applications, near eye optics and displays, cameras/sensors/IoT, and UI/UX (hardware and software).

Heads-up display for soldiers to see around corners

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a lightweight heads-up display that allows soldiers to see video feeds from cameras mounted on guns, drones, or robots. This lets soldiers effectively see around corners and remain behind cover while assessing threats. The display combines near-eye optics with software that integrates multiple sensor inputs into one interface.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live across Boston and San Francisco. After YC, the company would be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We split time between Boston and San Francisco to access both defense technology expertise on the East Coast and startup resources on the West Coast. YC is in Silicon Valley, so basing the company in SF after batch makes sense for fundraising and recruiting.
