Calvin began his career at Blue Origin before later meeting Kwadwo at a hackathon, where a shared passion for space, energy, and cutting-edge hardware sparked an immediate collaboration. Through Kwadwo, Calvin was introduced to Bob and to Groundswell Startups, a nonprofit startup incubator and coworking space in Melbourne, Florida.
Today, Dyson Labs is proudly based on Florida’s Space Coast—building decentralized compute infrastructure for the orbital economy.
Compute decentralized.
Calvin England | CEO | Founder
Calvin was previously a United States Marine Corps infantry combat veteran of Afghanistan and a Purdue University graduate of the school of Mechanical Engineering. He’s spent his engineering career in both space (Blue Origin, Beyond Gravity) and aviation (Northrop Grumman, Extant Aerospace) manufacturing, focusing on circuit card assembly, structures assembly and repair, chemical etching, vacuum furnace heat treatment, fluids testing, and acquisition transition.
Bob McElrath | Advisor
Bob earned his PhD in theoretical particle physics and became a CERN fellow in Geneva, Switzerland. After exiting two founding-CTO positions in the Bitcoin space (Ribbit Rewards, Vida Identity), Bob joined Fidelity’s R&D arm to study Bitcoin, which included standing up their mining operation. Bob serves as advisor to a select handful of Bitcoin companies and works as the lead of Braidpool, an open-source, decentralized mining-pool which uses a DAG to organize rewards.
Kwadwo has spent his career researching and developing photonic systems across several of the biggest names in industry. He’s earned master’s degrees in electrical engineering and in optical sciences and is currently pursuing his PhD in photonics. He currently serves as a SME at Groundswell Startups and supports startups and founders from both a technical and business perspective.
