GoKnown LLC Joins UCF's NSF I-Corps Aerospace & Aviation Cohort

MIAMI - Aug. 28, 2025 - PRLog -- GoKnown LLC, a pioneer in decentralized computing and resilient communications,  announced its acceptance into the University of Central Florida's (UCF) prestigious NSF I-Corps Aerospace & Aviation Cohort. This milestone underscores GoKnown's mission to deliver next-generation AltPNT (Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) and decentralized solutions that safeguard the nation's most critical infrastructure while ensuring resilience in aerospace and aviation.

The UCF I-Corps program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), accelerates the commercialization of high-impact technologies by equipping entrepreneurs with mentorship, customer discovery, and go-to-market strategies. Participation in the Aerospace & Aviation Cohort positions GoKnown to refine its offerings, validate customer needs, and scale solutions that address urgent national security and industry demands.

"We believe the future of aerospace and critical infrastructure depends on decentralized, resilient systems that are not vulnerable to single points of failure," said Connie Erlanger, CEO of GoKnown. "Being part of the UCF I-Corps Aerospace & Aviation Cohort enables us to validate our solutions, expand market reach, and strengthen partnerships with stakeholders who share our commitment to securing the backbone of modern society."

Through the cohort, GoKnown will advance three strategic priorities critical to aerospace and aviation:

Decentralized Computing at the Edge:Scalable, real-time computing and storage that enhances resilience by eliminating centralized vulnerabilities and enabling trusted peer-to-peer connectivity.

Resilient Communications Infrastructure: Interoperable, cybersecure, and fault-tolerant  compute systems that function even in contested, disconnected, or high-risk environments.

AltPNT Innovation: that ensure uninterrupted navigation, timing, and mission success for aerospace, defense, and commercial operators.

GoKnown's technology addresses a multi-trillion dollar global market where resiliency, redundancy, and trust are paramount.

"Investors and customers recognize that decentralized computing and AltPNT are not optional—they are essential for the security and continuity of critical systems," Erlanger added. "GoKnown is building the trusted infrastructure that ensures aerospace and aviation remain operational in the face of today's and tomorrow's threats."
