Founder & CEO — Ian Newell. U.S. Army Intelligence Officer (Top Secret) with multinational leadership; SpaceWERX (AFRL) innovation internship; senior roles at Big Bear.ai (Head of Product, Autonomous Systems)and Saab (Skapa Innovation) leading autonomous‑systems product and growth; MBA candidate, UT Austin. Ian founded Golden Hour to fix last‑mile telemetry and deliver mission‑ready software that evolves with users.

Golden Hour Technologies builds mission‑adaptive logistics and communications software for any organization that must plan, move, and optimize assets in the real world—from airports and ports (including autonomous vessels) to ranges, yards, energy sites, campuses, last‑mile fleets, and expeditionary defense operations. We combine a radio‑agnostic Telemetry Fabric that keeps data alive when networks fail, a robotic‑AI Decision Suite that fuses data and recommends actions in real time, and the Golden Hour Exchange—our owned, controlled delivery pipeline for rapid, governed feature releases. The platform is modular and open: integrate via open APIs, SDKs, connectors, and embeddables, or bring your own radios, devices, and cloud. We are pre‑deployment with a field trial at Merus Adventure Park and are onboarding early adopters. Founded in Austin, Texas (2024) and veteran‑led, Golden Hour turns disconnected operations into living systems that improve every week.
