Technology and Defense at Founders Fund HQ

Published: Jan. 16, 2019, midnight

Founders Fund recently hosted a panel on defense: a conversation at the intersection of the U.S. government and the technology industry, or D.C. vs. Silicon Valley. Moderated by Dan Primack, and featuring Chris Lynch, Heather Podesta, and Trae Stephens. \n\nTechnology has changed the nature of the threats our society is facing, but the defense industry is still generally approaching these questions with a twentieth century mindset. Before we can make meaningful progress in the space, we need to reconceptualize our approach to the question. \n\nBut before we dig any further into the specifics of the technology, and developments we\u2019re starting to see on that front, it\u2019s worth talking about the government \u2014\xa0our current relationship, and how we might improve the way we work together.
