About Us
Fern Foundry Systems™
Forged in Defense, Architected for Sovereignty.
With over 40 years of combined experience executing "impossible" projects, Kaci Calvaresi and Nathanael Bocker have spent their careers building critical infrastructure for the future. Their track record spans the architecture of alternative energy systems, EMP shielding, and the systems behind Farad Technologies—bridging the gap between energy, blockchain, and high-performance computing engines.
Both partners have served the national defense mission: Nathanael as a dual-service veteran of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, and Kaci transitioning from the resilience of a military spouse to the precision of a defense contractor. They founded Fern Foundry Systems to apply this "mission-first" discipline to the semiconductor crisis, leveraging their expertise in geometric inference and world AI models to re-industrialize the American base.
Kaci R. Calvaresi
Co-Founder & CEO
A veteran of high-stakes execution, Kaci combines deep operational expertise with a career defined by national service. Transitioning from the demanding role of a military spouse to a strategic defense contractor, she has spent decades facilitating the deployment of world-changing technologies. Kaci is the visionary behind the development of Fern Foundry's Iteron platform. She brings over 20 years of expertise in navigating complex industrial landscapes, ensuring that Fern Foundry's "big dreams" are grounded in rigorous, mission-ready strategy.
Nathanael J. Bocker
Co-Founder & CTO
A dual-service veteran of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, Nate is a systems architect who builds at the bleeding edge of physics and computation. His technical pedigree includes architecting the backbone of Farad Technologies, developing patented energy-to-blockchain systems, and designing advanced EMP shielding. An expert in geometric inference engines and world AI models, Nate leads the engineering of the Iteron platform, turning theoretical physics into defense-grade reality.
Our Mission
Fern Foundry Systems was founded to solve the $500B strategic vulnerability at the heart of the modern economy. By replacing the $20B fab with software-defined atomic assembly, we are reshoring critical infrastructure and securing the American supply chain for the Angstrom Age.
