Fun time chatting defense tech investing with @StevenSimoni on @DroneUltimatum Podcast - thanks for having me!
We cover what we @dfjgrowth look for as long time VCs in the category, how the battlefield is changing and the pressing need for defense innovation (shout out to portcos @SpaceX @anduriltech @VannevarLabs @hiddenlevelinc @GoToImpulse), & how startups can most effectively partner and scale w the government.

@StevenSimoni @allencontrol Damn, I have a degree in aeronautics with a minor in unmanned aerial systems. Did a whole project on protection of a nuclear power plant from unauthorized drone entry. I’m going to take a gander at the jobs. An Air Force veteran here as well.

@StevenSimoni @allencontrol What is the effective range of the laser dazzled versus the kinetic solution? Seems like it would be hard to accurate hit the camera from far away.

@StevenSimoni @allencontrol the urge to drop it all and go back into defense is strong these days.

@C4th0de_R4Y @allencontrol We have a very good culture. Between my last company I sold and this new company we have like 95 percent retention. I’m proud of the company we are building for the long haul.
English
@StevenSimoni @allencontrol As cool as this sounds. I fell for this before and at almost 50 I'm not made for this kind of situation. You are going to burn through human capital like a wild fire, and people are going to give you all they have and then fall off to be forgotten.

It’s true, you can’t just shoot bullets in every place drones pose a threat: so we’ve got lasers to neutralize drones by blinding their optics

@ReedSealFoss It’s a weapon station with swappable effectors. Companies have things called product roadmaps. Haha
