Alex Fink

I'm the President and US CEO of Swarmer — the AI brain for drone swarms — which I took public on the Nasdaq (SWMR) within three years of founding it. Before that I built Otherweb, a news platform that strips the clickbait, ads, and noise out of the modern web, and grew it to 18.5m users. Because a healthier information diet is its own kind of defense.

About

I'm an engineer-operator who has spent two decades shepherding hard technology from blank page to mass production — action cameras, drones, military optics, self-driving trucks, robotics, and the software that makes them think.

Today I lead Swarmer, the AI brain that lets unmanned systems operate as a coordinated swarm. Born on the battlefield in Ukraine, Swarmer had its IPO in less than 3 years due to the overwhelming demand for its products.
