I'm thrilled to share that I'll be in attendance at this year's Defense Ventures Summit, a groundbreaking convergence of visionaries, investors, and tech pioneers at the forefront of defense technology. The Summit will be held in Navy Yard in Washington D.C. later this week and represents the most important event for founders, operators, investors, military acquisitions types, and policy makers interested in building for defense!
Unlocking the Future:
The Defense Ventures Summit stands as a beacon, uniting the US Military, allies, seasoned investors, and ingenious founders driving the pulse of emerging technology. This gathering promises a deep dive into the state of venture capital for defense tech, exploring evolving opportunities and shedding light on areas of strategic importance.
Meet the Trailblazers:
Esteemed figures like Katherine Boyle (a16z), Jake Chapman (Marque Ventures), and Jacob Helberg (US-China Commission) will grace the stage, sharing insights that redefine narratives, blend economic history with tech foresight, and bridge the crucial gap between government and technology.
The Pulse of Innovation:
Topics ranging from the state of venture capital to exclusive industry sessions with leaders from Palantir, Hermeus, and Google will fuel discussions. Brace yourself for firsthand updates from the Office of Strategic Capital, In-Q-Tel, DIU, DARPA, and other trailblazers shaping the defense technology landscape.
Networking at the Nexus:
Beyond the riveting discussions, the summit offers an unparalleled opportunity to cultivate a first-class network at the crossroads of technology investment and defense. Join me in forging connections that transcend boundaries, sparking collaborations that will shape the future of defense technology.
I missed the inaugural summit last year, unfortunately; but, I’ll be there this year!
