We were so proud to sponsor the inaugural Resilience Conference. It’s initiatives like these that help drive meaningful change within the startup, defence, and security ecosystem, and we’re honoured to have played a part. A big thank you to Leslie Hitchcock, Dr Tobias Stone and Matt Burns for making this event happen!

The inaugural Resilience Conference was an extraordinary success with many individuals to thank. Dr Tobias Stone and I talked endlessly about Resilience Conference as an entirely bootstrapped project; we took no government grants or outside funding to produce it, relying solely on ticket sales and sponsorships to achieve our goals. The risk was ours, which was hard for some to conceptualise, but these sponsoring organisations saw the vision and believed in us from the start. A heartfelt thank you to General Catalyst, Rowden, Sigma Software Group, Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc., BAE Systems, Imperial College London Institute for Security Science and Technology, NobleReach™️, Helsing, Hadean, BMNT, Ltd. and HAX. We also worked tirelessly to ensure a collaborative relationship with others in the startup, defence, and security ecosystem, building relationships with hackathons, industry bodies, publications, investor networks, and more. An enormous thank you to all of these groups who worked with us to promote Resilience Conference to their networks, helped us build breakout room content, ran our press efforts, and were generally supportive of our attempt to unify a fractured ecosystem: ADS, Inc., Axis Innovation, Burlington PR , Calibrated, Dealroom.co, Future Forces, Legion Search, MassChallenge, TJC, techUK, UK Defence Investor Network, and Women in Defence UK. We genuinely couldn't have done it without you. https://lnkd.in/emVXUFFw
