What you likely need
Vu is a high-output serial founder with deep YC roots, a unicorn exit from Go1, and active ventures across defence-tech, health-tech, and AI. His immediate priority is scaling Black Sky Industries' defence contracts and team while managing the complexity of running multiple concurrent ventures. Fundraising for Black Sky and OneMRI should be the near-term focus given the capital intensity of aerospace manufacturing.
