ENDER TECH · THE TECH
MISSION-DRIVEN
BUILDERS.
Born from a DIU's Hacking 4 Defense (H4D) EW training problem. Built by founders who understand both the warfighter mission and the software-native future of defense.
HOW WE STARTED
THE ORIGIN
"From a classroom challenge to a government contract, Liam and Zack are proof that student innovation—when paired with grit and community—can change the way we train tomorrow’s warfighters"
-DIU's H4D Success Stories
In Spring 2023, Zack and Liam were placed on the same team in DIU's Hacking for Defense program at UCF — tasked with solving two real electronic warfare training gaps sourced directly from the military. Before writing a single line of code, they spent months in front of warfighters, pressure-testing problem frames and confirming the scope of the gap.
What started as a class project became a company. They won first place at ARCENT's Innovation Oasis II, were presented to the Commanding General of US CENTCOM, and never looked back. Ender Technologies has been operating out of the UCF Business Incubation Program since August 2024.
Over 300 expert interviews and 50+ warfighter demos later, the conclusion hasn't changed: the military's EW training infrastructure is expensive, rare, and completely disconnected from how the next generation of warfighters actually learns.
