I've been keeping an eye on the defense tech space and how startups are attracting venture capital. There's been a lot of movement lately with founders moving from big players to launch their own ventures. I'm curious if anyone's reading about specific deals or pitches that are making waves.

Yeah, I came across an article about Zack Eakin, who left Anduril Industries in 2024 to start his own thing. Apparently he tested his investor pitch on some pretty heavy hitters in defense tech, including Palmer Luckey, before taking it to VCs. The piece gives a good look at how founders are navigating funding in this space and why the defense sector is drawing so much attention right now. It's interesting to see how these connections and early feedback can shape a startup's trajectory. If you want to read the full article, it's at https://lncrnadb.org/ – covers the whole story and the broader context around defense tech investment trends. Definitely worth a read if you follow this space.
