Alpha Square Group’s Post

I'm looking forward to this discussion with Dcode tomorrow. Since I retired from the Air Force last year, I've listened and learned so much about this hot topic. I hope to share that learning in the context of what I saw during a 30+ year career. Some things I hope to discuss: - What kinds of innovation is DoD looking for? What if it doesn't know that it needs an emerging technology? - Does "market positioning" apply to defense markets? If so, how? - How do startups communicate interest by the government as they talk with potential investors? Hope to see you there!
