Thanks to Congressman Wittman for his support of technologists and entrepreneurs building in support of our national defense! Nominal appreciates partnering with forward-thinking lawmakers and public sector leaders to advance America's objectives using the latest in data infrastructure and technology. Whether working with government customers, or commercial companies building critical technologies, our platform accelerates the pace of fielding new capabilities.
An honor to host Congressman Rob Wittman at Lux Capital yesterday alongside Bilal Zuberi for an evening of conversation and debate on defense technology with entrepreneurs building in the national interest and investors supporting them. Personally, I met Congressman Wittman in 2017 when I worked on the Hill as a Navy Liasion. I was coming off a submarine tour (and 484 days underwater) and was instantly impressed with his voracious learning appetite, deep understanding of the Navy, and passion for improving US deterrence through technology. 7+ years later, and a lot has changed! The nature of conflict and the defense landscape has rapidly evolved, we have defense startups truly scaling, House Armed Services Committee held a field hearing in the heart of Silicon Valley, and a whole new set of technology challenges and opportunities exist for companies to help solve (Nominal being one!). But through all the change, defense remains a priority and truly bipartisan thanks to leaders like Congressman Wittman. Hallie Coyne Carolyn Amirpashaie King
