Search every verified Ben Wolff interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Ben Wolff, co-founder, president, and CEO of Palladyne AI, discussed the company's financial strategy and commercial outlook in recent interviews with The Zero Hour Group. He stated that he is focused on achieving cash-flow positivity and identified specific internal targets, including reaching 1,000 units per year, as milestones toward that goal. Wolff also said he has not personally sold shares of the company since 2015 and described the expiration of certain warrants as cleaning up the company's cap table. He emphasized that he aims to build a profitable, sustainable company that rewards shareholders, rather than planning an exit. Wolff also addressed Palladyne AI's technology and market positioning. He described the company's software as enabling machines to perceive, decide, and react autonomously, contrasting it with remote-controlled drones that require one operator per unit. He said the software can allow an inexperienced operator to teach a robot new tasks in minutes. Wolff noted that investors may have difficulty categorizing the company, as its software spans AI, defense tech, commercial automation, and robotics, and he said the company is pursuing opportunities in both defense and industrial applications, including corrosion detection and equipment sustainment. He also mentioned that the company's technology has capabilities he believes are not currently available to others in Ukraine.
