Wesley Zheng — CEO
As the co-founder and CEO of POSH, a YC-backed startup taking a cradle-to-cradle approach to energy storage product design, I lead an exceptional team of engineers to vertically integrate battery energy products development, reuse, and recycling. Previously, I was the co-founder of Volansi, a company that designed and built high-payload, long-endurance unmanned aerial systems for commercial and defense applications (acquired by Sierra Nevada Corporation in 2022). I am also an active angel investor and startup mentor, supporting innovative companies in the climate tech, AI, and robotics space. As an investor, I leverage my expertise in energy storage, robotics, and materials science, as well as my experience as a 2x YC founder to help early-stage companies scale from 0 to 1.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a leader in energy storage and UAV technology with a strong focus on sustainability.
