Davíð Helgason
Co-founder and former CEO of Unity Technologies; independently confirmed as a third co-founder of Stratis Intelligence, and as chairman of defense-AI startup Agon (2026).
Davíð Helgason co-founded Unity Technologies and served as its CEO before it grew into a major game-engine company. Press coverage of Stratis Intelligence's November 2025 seed-funding round -- reported independently by ArcticStartup and Resilience Media -- names him as a third co-founder of the Icelandic defense-intelligence data-fusion startup, alongside Ingvar Helgason (CEO) and Smári McCarthy. Earlier stealth-launch coverage from September 2025 named only Ingvar Helgason and Smári McCarthy, so his founder status became public specifically with the funding announcement; no source gives him an operating title at Stratis or states his equity stake, and no source indicates any family relationship to Ingvar Helgason (a common Icelandic patronymic, not evidence of kinship).
