Oluseun Taiwo started Solideon (formerly Additive Space Technologies) to change aerospace manufacturing with machine learning, collaborative robots, and 3D welding. The goal: design, build and fly 70% quicker than anyone else. The startup, an alum of the Techstars accelerator, has raised $8 million.

Oluseun revolutionized the sector with his 3D-printed rocket engines, becoming the first American to launch one in 2017 at Rocketlab USA as employee number 15. He spearheaded 3D-printing initiatives at Argonne National Lab, Virgin Orbit, and 3D Systems’. A true innovator, Oluseun, a first-generation Nigerian-American, was previously an engineer. He was recognized as one of Forbes’ 30 under 30 for his transformative contributions of consistently pushing the aerospace industry’s boundaries.
