As Entrepreneur in Residence at Launch NY and co-founder of multiple tech initiatives including Startups Community and the former Girl Develop It Buffalo chapter, Lena bridges the gap between technical execution and business strategy. Her approach focuses on market validation before expensive development, strategic design that turns users into advocates, and go-to-market strategies that prove product-market fit early.

In this conversation, Lena shares insights on why most startups waste money on premature development, how design thinking drives funding success, and what it really takes to get a product from zero to revenue without burning through your budget. Listeners will discover the frameworks behind products that sell themselves and the strategic validation process that separates successful launches from expensive failures.

As a mechanical design engineer at EWI and former R&D manager with experience in advanced manufacturing and battery technology, Dillan brings real-world engineering expertise to his volunteer work. But his most important title might be Team Director of Rust Belt Robotics, a free program he founded in 2022 to serve Buffalo's youth. Unlike school-based teams, Rust Belt Robotics welcomes any student regardless of which school they attend or their family's financial situation.

In this conversation, Dillan shares what it takes to build competitive robots with high school students, how teaching electrical, programming, and mechanical design skills prepares the next generation for advanced manufacturing jobs, and why Buffalo's industrial heritage makes it the perfect place for a robotics renaissance.
