Tech Command Investing Episode 10: Drones, Data, and Sovereignty with Ricardo Mendes from TEKEVER
<p>In this episode of Tech Command Investing, host Alain Gavin is joined by Ricardo Mendes, CEO and Founder of TEKEVER. TEKEVER is Europe's leading provider of AI-driven autonomous systems; without their agile, vertically integrated model, critical intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities remain sluggish and vulnerable to rapidly evolving electronic warfare.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation unpacks the new operational realities of autonomous warfare forged in the crucible of Ukraine. We explore why static hardware is a "sitting duck" , and how TEKEVER turned over 50,000 combat flight hours into hundreds of rapid, frontline-driven design iterations. This isn't just about building better drones; it's about translating a software-engineering mindset into physical systems capable of surviving intense, GNSS-denied environments and executing complex, AI-assisted autonomous missions.</p><p><br></p><p>For strategic investors, we dive into why the shift toward "intelligence-as-a-service" is inevitable, transforming drones from mere tactical assets into critical, sovereign data networks. We discuss TEKEVER's recent unicorn valuation, the massive £400 million "Project Overmatch" investment in UK manufacturing, and the vital dual-use transition from commercial maritime surveillance to high-stakes defence applications—from operating the ARX "Mothership" for drone swarms to venturing into orbit with France’s sovereign satellite programs.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode features a deep dive into TEKEVER’s highly configurable fleet—the AR3, AR5, and ARX, and their ATLAS intelligence platform. We discuss how they fuse multi-sensor data in real-time , team unmanned swarms with manned fighter jets, and continuously adapt to the most demanding theaters on earth.</p><p><br></p><p>📚 Additional resources and books mentioned in this episode:</p><p><br></p><p>Genesis by Henry Kissinger and Eric Schmidt The Hard Thing</p><p>About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz </p><p><br></p><p>Figures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m6Ta2EhNiyIW0LO-7k5mzPKY3Dr0vZsZ?usp=share_link</p><p><br></p><p>💼 Are you a strategic investor exploring dual-use tech, critical infrastructure, or advanced sovereign capabilities?

Tech Command Investing Episode 9: From Isolated Detection to Continental Intelligence
<p>The foundation of physical security and global supply chains relies on one crucial element: material truth. Yet, the spectrometry industry responsible for measuring this truth is stuck in the 1980s, plagued by siloed devices, proprietary formats, and dangerous manual delays. The company that can network these fragmented sensors into a real-time, interoperable grid holds the key to global harm prevention and sovereign intelligence.In this episode of Tech Command Investing, host Alain Gavin is joined by Brad Elsbury, CEO and Founder of Unknown Labs. Unknown Labs is building the device-agnostic intelligence backbone for material identification; without their temporal data networks, critical material detection remains isolated, sluggish, and vulnerable.This conversation unpacks the new operational realities of material identification. We explore why data fragmentation is the real bottleneck in harm prevention, and how Unknown Labs turns isolated local scans—from counterfeit pharma in Africa to illicit narcotics in Europe—into continental alerts in seconds. This isn't just about faster software; it's about translating raw spectral data from competing hardware (FTIR, Raman, HPLC) into synchronized, actionable intelligence.For strategic investors, we dive into why this interoperability layer is inevitable, transforming spectrometry from a niche B2B hardware market into critical B2G infrastructure. We discuss the powerful network effects of compounding spectral data, what a realistic multi-country deployment looks like, and the critical dual-use applications for defense—from tracking chemical anomalies to mapping post-war environmental toxins and ensuring sovereign data control.This episode features a live demo of the Unknown Labs platform, showing how they monitor technical laboratories, seamlessly link reports from entirely different types of spectrometers, and use GPS prediction modelling to group hazardous toxins for disaster relief and post-conflict cleanup.📚 Additional resources and books mentioned in this episode:How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale CarnegieHumans of New York by Brandon StantonI Am the Untold Story of Success by Klyn ElsburyFigure: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/fxnist3betzz77tvyeo8w/ANWUXWyA7K4oxyPqRQ3wWHs?rlkey=e9c50gzkootbavob38o77rmwe&st=70n639zq&dl=0💼 Are you a strategic investor exploring dual-use tech, critical infrastructure, or advanced sovereign capabilities?
