EarlySignals(@earlysignalsvc):EarlySignals surfaces newly emerged private startups from public and social signals. On this week's list: Skapion, where the team that architected Israel's Iron Dome raised $36M from Khosla Ventures and https://t.co/imaxaPPlUT to build a mobile counter-swarm drone defense system. Pini Yungman ran Rafael's Air and Missile Defense Division. Co-founder Ido Bar-On (@brnido) led defense business at XTEND as an IDF reserve lieutenant colonel. The system targets intercepts under $10,000 each, at a planned 10,000-plus units a year. The seed closed less than a year after the late-2025 founding. No public customers or benchmarks yet. It scored 88 on potential in our July 13 issue. Research notes, not investment advice.
