/ About this event

We have reached room capacity 100 guests.

With Fleet Week and SF Tech Week converging, we are putting two critical sectors together under one roof.

Join SF Blue Tech for the defining crossover event—where leaders in ocean tech, subsea robotics and dual-use defense connect. Capping the evening is presentation and product showcase from subsea robotics startup Ulysses. COO Colm O'Brien will touch on: ​ * rapid scaling of marine autonomous systems in commercial and defense segments​ * product challenges for operational success within one of the planet's harshest environments * design and manufacture innovation * growing from a team of four, to a global team of many

This vertical is HOT. San Francisco counts top firms that operate and manufacture locally--several of which have already signed to attend the event.

Ulysses customers include U.S. Navy, government of Australia, Great Barrier Reef Foundation and The Nature Conservancy. Company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Booz Allen Ventures, Harpoon Ventures, peeblebed, Lowercarbon Capital, Genius Ventures, Onto Ventures, Superorganism and others: $48 million raised
