Cade Dalton is the founder of Vestige Defense, a defense technology company building autonomous robotic systems for subterranean and GPS-denied environments. He holds bachelor's degrees in Finance and Economics with a minor in Computer Science from the University of Miami, and previously worked in investment banking and asset management in New York City before founding Vestige.
