Military Monday: More About Roll-Ups In Defense

Expanding on thoughts from last week

Last week I mentioned that I was thinking about roll-Ups in defense.

I teased the topic, but then rushed my post and didn’t really describe what I was thinking about or why it’s important.

Today, I want to go back and hammer that out a bit more.

But before we do, I want to acknowledge the very real and large impact that the crisis at Silicon Valley Bank has had on the tech industry. I am relieved that the FDIC has said depositors will have access to all of their funds beginning today, but also know that we’ll feel the ripples from this for a long time.

Technology plays a critical role in America’s progress and as such it is a national security issue.

We seem to have averted disaster, for now, but we must be careful in the future as well. As many leading VC firms announced in their joint statement, the Silicon Valley Bank has played and will continue to play an important role in the ecosystem.
