About
Zane Mountcastle is the co-founder and CEO of Picogrid, a defense software company building a unified platform that connects sensors, drones and command interfaces across the military's stovepiped systems. He started building autonomous systems with co-founder Martin Slosarik more than a decade ago, first in college dorm rooms and then under contract for the U.S. Army. Mountcastle began his career on early sensor and autonomy programs with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy, where he ran into the integration problem the Department of Defense had been failing to solve for two decades. Picogrid raised a $12 million seed round in 2024 led by Initialized Capital.
