Silas Hillman

Founder · Operator · Trader

Technology. Ventures.
Markets.

Deep in the SF startup scene — building IT infrastructure for high-growth companies, co-founding early-stage ventures in robotics and computer vision, and actively trading equities, crypto, and hard assets. From nuclear facility decommissioning to VC-backed ML startups, I operate across the full spectrum of technology and capital markets. Robotics and AI are the thread running through all of it.
