Dino Mavrookas
The Pioneer
The frontier and an appetite for the unknown, goes first.
Mavrookas reads as a Pioneer through his explicit mission to rebuild American shipbuilding from zero, framing Port Alpha as the nation's largest shipyard since WWII and targeting a 20x capacity expansion.
“So what autonomy provides is the ability to extend the range capability and survivability of large manned ships. And what that means is, and I know we've talked about this, but I spent 11 years in the Navy. I was in the Navy SEAL teams. My last five years were on SEAL Team 6. For me, this is very personal, right?”
“We've been able to execute at a speed and a scale that hasn't been seen before in the maritime environment. We've raised close to 850 million dollars now in just over two years. We set out on this mission to redefine maritime superiority. We're doing that through autonomy.”
“A very scary stat. They went from 5% of global shipbuilding capacity to nearly 50% over the last 25 years. We don't have time to wait. We're doing this now. This is not a theory. This is not a concept.”
“So without getting into the specifics of our contracts, I wish we lived in a world where I can lay out all of our contracts and tell you where and how we're selling to the Navy. But we have multiple contracts with the Navy. Again, we've had contracts since the day we started the company.”
