Shield AI
Brandon Tseng, a former Navy SEAL who attended Harvard Business School, and his brother Ryan Tseng, a tech entrepreneur, founded Shield AI in 2015. They set out to bring cutting-edge technology to service members and first responders in moments where it mattered most. Since then, they have built a company driven to achieve, at scale, its mission of protecting service members and civilians with artificially intelligent systems. Shield AI has assembled a team from across a number of professional disciplines that is bound by the idea that values can sit at the center of a start-up dedicated to putting the state of the art to work serving first responders and service members. Shield AI products, beginning with our first offering, Nova, an autonomous quadcopter which explores the interior of buildings with no operator while providing live maps and video stream, are designed to create maximum impact by providing visibility and information in places previously out of reach. Because no pilot is required, first responders and service members are able to deploy Nova while remaining focused on completing their missions.
Purpose
Our mission is to protect service members and civilians with artificially intelligent systems. This purpose informs every choice we make and task we set out to accomplish. We believe in shaping the future of artificially intelligent systems in order to fulfill our mission, at scale. Our world-class team, assembled from across disciplines and professional backgrounds, leads the way in pushing the boundaries of not just this but the next generation’s AI systems in order to protect those who enter harm’s way and all those they serve.
Vision
On land, in the sky and deep underground, Shield AI products put the technology of tomorrow to work today. From one robot working alone to teams of robots working together to achieve a mission, Shield AI is creating AI on the edge at the speed of the state of the art in order to protect service members and civilians.
Mission
Shield AI’s mission is to protect service members and innocent civilians with artificially intelligent systems.
Additional Culture Details
Our culture is the foundation of all we undertake at Shield AI and sits at the center of each choice we make about what we do, for whom and with what collection of teammates.
