Episode notes
Improving Defense Procurement
- Advocate for export reform to prevent strategically sensitive technologies from reaching adversaries like China.
- Also, push for more frequent recompetition of programs and merit-based competitions with a focus on desired outcomes rather than prescriptive specifications.
Selling to the Government
- Selling to the government differs depending on a company's origin.
- Companies with existing tech seek defense applications, while purpose-built defense companies like Anduril start by identifying critical DOD needs.
Effective Lobbying Strategies
- Align your lobbying efforts with current government priorities and the timing of your product.
- Don't try to change their minds; offer solutions to existing problems they already recognize.
