Dom Csehill & Justin Luce on Using PeaceTech to Keep Airports Safe
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominiquecsehill/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dom Csehill</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-luce-3b0833338/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Luce</a> are building <a href="https://thalrix.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thalrix</a>. They're in the PeaceTech Accelerator and they pitch at <a href="https://luma.com/2bju4j9d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Demo Day in Arlington</a> on July 30th.<br /><br />How this all started is, they walked into airports to sell drone detection and found something worse — every site already has cameras, radar, and flight data, but nobody is looking at all of it at once.

One screen, every sensor, alerts in under 5 seconds. <br /><br />Hosted by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaneraymartin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shane Ray Martin</a> — VC at B Ventures, guy running the PeaceTech Accelerator, LinkedIn Top Voice in Negotiation, startup builder, certified peace mediator.
