Mission Briefings #01: The Prime Perspective
Mission Briefings are curated, small-group conversations designed to give defense and dual-use startups access to the experts that can help them scale.
Each session brings together 2-3 experts and a room of ~15 startups for an interactive, off-the-record discussion.
This initial session provides a direct dialogue with two primes, Northrop Grumman and SAIC, who will share their perspective on the long-term strategic roadmaps and mission-critical capabilities that will define the future.
This is not a panel, and there are no formal presentations. The format is conversational, candid, and founder-driven.
Space is limited to maintain discussion quality. While we will not be able to accommodate everyone, we look forward to bringing together a strong and relevant group of startups building technology that matters.
