Milton Perque is Co-Founder and CEO of Kapta Space, a Seattle-based aerospace startup pioneering low-cost, electronically steered spaceborne radar systems for defense and commercial intelligence missions.

Milton earned a BSEE in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Orleans and built deep expertise in metamaterials-based radar as an engineering leader at Echodyne, and previously at Metacept and Intellectual Ventures.

Milton is a recognized early pioneer in the development of metamaterials-based radar systems, with a career spanning RF engineering, hardware leadership, and advanced antenna technology across more than two decades.

Under his leadership, Kapta Space secured a $1.8M Department of Defense SBIR grant, raised a $5M seed round led by MetaVC Partners, and followed with a $24M Series A led by Washington Harbour Partners and Bison Ventures, bringing total funding to $30M.

Kapta has secured multiple classified Moving Target Indication (MTI) contracts and is advancing its proprietary MESA architecture toward flight qualification and its first orbital demonstration mission.
