Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Charles Yeomans, CEO of Atombeam Technologies, to talk about a real data bottleneck hiding in plain sight. We break down why most machine generated data never makes it through the network, how Atombeam’s Nerpak software moves far more information without new hardware, and why that matters for defense, mobility, storage, and edge computing. Charles explains how shrinking data changes security and situational awareness, what this means for AI operating outside massive data centers, and why crowdfunding became the right path for backing a seasoned founder building infrastructure level technology. This Reg A offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC. This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.
