Defense Ventures: 1. Is a critical national security initiative 2. Helps retain and energize the United States Department of Defense's most innovative talent 3. Builds DoD capacity 4. Allows the delivery of new assessment and matching technology to help service members create the most impact & reach their full potential 5. Is the most significant bridge between DoD and venture capital The future of America's security turns on our ability to retain technological superiority across a host of domains. DoD never has, and never will, win on this playing field alone. The future of defense tech is public-private tech partnerships. And to succeed, these partnerships require a force of technically proficient military members who can fully leverage the innovation of America's commercial sector. If you think you should be among the 100 fellows this fall, you're probably right. Open to all employees of the Department of Defense. #DefenseVentures #RiseTogether Shift
