Investing in Projects with the Department of Defense

In order to get the newest and best technology to America’s
servicemen and women, there needs to be a connective tissue
between startups and the Department of Defense. This, of course,
is where the Defense Innovation Unit comes in to connect the
private, commercial world to large, public entities like the DoD.
It’s also where firms like Lux Capital come in to invest in the
creation of new defense technologies. Bilal Zuberi is a partner
at Lux and has been investing in companies that directly sell to
or want to sell to the DOD for over a decade. In this episode, he
joins hosts Dan Dillard and Zach Walker to discuss that
connective tissue that makes defense innovation possible.
