🚀 We’re excited to have Mohith Narayanan (https://lnkd.in/eCUc7vhR) join our Federal Accelerator as a Mentor! With years of experience in program management, technical innovation, and business development, he knows how to help companies break into and scale in the federal market. He’s great at simplifying complex challenges, designing practical solutions, and building trust with customers. In the program, he works with companies to maximize the impact of their technologies in the public sector by navigating the often-complicated world of government contracts. We’re looking forward to seeing him guide our startups to success! And we would love to help your emerging tech company quickly open up - or expand across - the government market. See how we do that and register for our next cohort here: https://lnkd.in/ekf_szUY Tait Ryssdal

Thank you to Steve Wallace, CTO of Defense Information Systems Agency, for an enlightening session on the evolving role of commercial technology in defense! Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: 1️⃣ Collaboration is Key: DISA’s collaboration with the Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer through regular Technical Exchange Meetings (TEMs) underscores the importance of cross-agency communication in tackling emerging challenges and opportunities around #AI and #5G. 2️⃣ Cybersecurity Priorities: Steve highlighted DISA’s proactive role in adopting new technologies to secure critical defense infrastructure, with a particular focus on blockchain’s potential for protecting data integrity. 3️⃣ Emerging Tech Engagement: Whether it’s AI solutions to streamline RFP evaluations or technologies like 5G, DISA is eager to engage with the private sector—especially for innovations with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6 and higher. Thanks also to our audience for such great questions. Be sure to keep an eye out for more Nexus Events coming up! Tait Ryssdal

What did Dcode hear about at the Association of the United States Army - AUSA last week? 👉 The US Army looking for more budget flexibility to serve mission outcomes in a rapidly changing threat environment. 👉 Increased effort to buy software in a way that attracts the most innovative companies into the market. 👉 Creative rethinking of force structure to best meet the data and information challenges of the modern battlespace. What’s the common theme? Wrestling with *non-tech* challenges to make the *tech itself* work. And we’re here for it. 🔗 See how Dcode is removing the roadblocks to technology transformation here: https://lnkd.in/enYm_qpw Meagan Metzger Meg Vorland Corinne Sorden, PhD Peyton Sumner Michael Lustig

🔥 Venture capital? Emerging tech? National security? That’s the sweet spot for Dcode! Our Chief Revenue Officer Meg Vorland has been thrilled to attend the first ever AF CyberWorx National Security Venture Capital Summit at Catalyst Campus, Colorado Springs . 💡 Thursday keynote speaker Mr. Chris Inglis, the nation’s first National Cyber Director, was a highlight: “Why do we care about tech? While innovation is very important, the context is what matters. … If you don’t get the doctrine right, you are setting yourself up for suboptimal results.” Great takeaway! Dcode is all about aligning the people, culture, policies, and processes to get tech in the hands of those who need it most.
