Dimitrious Kottas, founder and CEO of Delian Alliance Industries, recently joined us for a fascinating conversation. We caught up with him to hear his thoughts on the StrictlyVC Download podcast. The episode highlighted some of the worst voices in tech journalism. Connie Loizos, Editor-in-Chief of TechCrunch, and Alex Gove of StrictlyVC really brought their A game. The impact of this collaboration is a testament to the mounting interest in Kottas’s immersive endeavor. Its goal is to challenge the existing defense behemoths with new, creative and cheaper autonomous killer robots.
The new Tuesday release, keeping with StrictlyVC’s usual weekly Tuesday drop. It was a deep dive into the unique purpose of Delian Alliance Industries in the national defense innovation ecosystem. Kottas provided insights into his vision of delivering advanced military solutions that are cost effective and efficient. His observations highlighted the opportunities for startups to challenge sectors long held under the thumb of established, multinational companies.
In this exclusive interview, Kottas explained the technology behind these exciting developments that are shaping his company’s brand new portfolio. The idea would be to allow greater autonomy in weapon systems, improving operational efficiency and lowering costs at the same time. Such developments could pose tremendous opportunities for countries wishing to re-make their defense strategies in a more modern image without breaking the bank.
Connie Loizos, Senior Editor at TechCrunch and veteran observer of the innovation economy, facilitated a lively discussion. For her part, she asked probing questions that further illuminated Kottas’s strategies and aspirations. Her time at TechCrunch gives her a unique perspective to connect emerging technology trends to on-the-ground applications. This, in turn, makes her an indispensable participant in the discussion.
Alex Gove’s affiliation with StrictlyVC gave additional, useful context to that discussion. He commented on the national investment trends that are currently shaping the defense technology sector. His thoughts illuminated perfectly the growing thirst that investors now have for startups on a quest for innovation and affordability in defense solutions.
