Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs & Startups - SVE

## The Physical AI Revolution Takes Flight — On Land, Sea, and Sky

Hosted by

• Physical AI Builders
• Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs
• Circuit Launch
• F50 Nexus

Join us for an electrifying evening at the intersection of autonomy and hardware — where drones, unmanned surface vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, and next-gen robotics converge. This is your front-row seat to how AI is breaking out of the software stack and into the physical world.
This meetup is a dynamic prelude to the broader Physical AI Builders series, bringing together Silicon Valley's leading minds in embodied AI, robotics, and hardware to explore how intelligent machines are reshaping entire industries — from defense and logistics to maritime and construction.

## Speakers

• Alex Dantas — CEO, Circuit Launch
• Mike Zhao — F50
• Benaya Cherlow Co-founder, SCIP

Showcase companies:
SCIP SCIP Protect is building the passive survivability layer for the next generation of autonomous defense systems. Our proprietary aluminum energy-management technology suppresses secondary explosions, mitigates thermal runaway, and prevents catastrophic fire propagation—without power, sensors, software, or maintenance. Originally developed for military fuel systems, SCIP is now expanding into high-energy batteries, autonomous vehicles, and next-generation defense platforms, helping protect critical assets, preserve mission readiness, and save lives. Benaya Cherlow is Co-Founder of SCIP Protect, a U.S. defense technology company developing passive survivability technologies for autonomous military platforms. A former Captain in the Israel Defense Forces and U.S. Congressional Foreign Affairs Fellow, he works at the intersection of defense innovation, national security, and emerging technologies, focusing on solutions that enhance platform survivability and operational resilience.
