Katalyst Space Technologies
Space is no longer just the high ground. It is central to national security. Every conflict and decision on Earth now depends on what happens in orbit. While rivals like China press forward, America’s legacy systems are still slow to adapt.
A new chapter is opening. Robotic spacecraft, guided by artificial intelligence, are beginning to track, maneuver, and respond in real time. These autonomous systems are changing how nations think about deterrence, defense, and decision-making.
Join us for a happy hour mixer, bringing together voices from defense, venture capital, and space startups. Katalyst’s founder, Ghonhee Lee, will open with a brief presentation before the evening continues with deeper discussion around the theme.

AI Search with Dual Web Presentation
AI Search with Dual Web Presentation by Emily Richardson, CEO of KNWN.
AI platforms are rapidly becoming the primary way consumers discover information, and websites must adapt. Dual Web is a new approach that serves two versions of your site: one designed for human visitors and another optimized for AI crawlers.
This bifurcation ensures your brand remains engaging and consistent for people while also being machine-readable and citation-ready for AI engines.
In this session, we’ll explore how Dual Web works, why it matters for discoverability, and what business owners and marketers can do today to prepare their sites for AI-first search.
Note:
This session is designed for startup founders. Space is limited, and preference will be given to early-stage founders. Final location details will be shared upon approval.
