Angelo Niforatos Named to the 2026 CNY 40 Under 40 Class

September 2026

We just got word, and we’re thrilled: our co-founder and CEO, Angelo Niforatos, has been named to the 2026 Central New York 40 Under 40 class.

Angelo earned a physics degree, a Master of Engineering in Aerospace from Syracuse University, and an MBA from the Whitman School of Management, all while working full time and building this company from the ground up. Asked about the news, Angelo put it simply: “It feels validating, the same way the Whitman award did, to be recognized among a group of genuinely talented people doing serious work across Central New York right now.”

That’s really the throughline for us today. This region has given us our university partnerships, our first funding, our first contract, and the network that’s carried us this far, staying rooted here isn’t a compromise, it’s the whole point.

The 2026 class will be celebrated on October 6 at the National Veterans Resource Center at Syracuse University. Thank you to this year’s Title Sponsor, M&T Bank, and to everyone in Central New York who’s backed us along the way, we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone next month.
