Pioneer Square Labs

Join us with the Venture Capital Club at University of Washington for an afternoon with T. A. McCann, managing director at Pioneer Square Labs, a Seattle-based startup studio and early-stage venture fund that builds and launches new tech companies alongside founders and investors ✨ We’ll start with snacks and time to connect with other students, founders, and builders, then T.A. will share insights from founding multiple companies (including exits to Google and BlackBerry) and from helping entrepreneurs turn early ideas into funded startups. He’ll speak for about 30 minutes on topics like what it’s really like to work with a studio like PSL, how founders think and what VCs look for, and advice for students interested in startups, tech, or venture. We’ll wrap up with 20–30 minutes of open Q&A, so bring your questions. Whether you’re curious about breaking into VC, building your own company, or just want to hear honest stories from someone deeply rooted in Seattle’s tech scene, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. 🗓️ Thursday, March 5 ⏰ 2:45–4:00pm 📍 CSE2 G01 ✉️ RSVP: https://luma.com/5yhirkr9

Overland AI President and Co-Founder, Stephanie Bonk, joined Bloomberg in the studio yesterday to discuss our $100M raise to scale ground autonomy operations across the U.S. Armed Forces. The raise follows a huge year for Overland. We completed the DARPA RACER program as the sole remaining performer, supported over 20 demonstrations and exercises around the world, and integrated our technology into live field operations. Stephanie sheds light on these recent successes and how this new funding will increase our manufacturing, field support, and forward deployed teams. She also reveals how Overland’s origins in the government’s premier off-road autonomy program, combined with our world-class technical and operational talent (20% PhDs and 20 % veterans), are leveraged to support the most dangerous military and dual-use missions.
