Capital Advantage: Dual-Use Innovation Backed by Strategic Capital is a gathering hosted by VC in DC and STATION DC during NY Tech Week, spotlighting the emerging wave of national security and defense tech startups. Held at Aprio’s offices, the event will feature a panel of dual-use investors exploring how capital and innovation intersect to drive national advantage.
Attendees will include top-tier VCs, corporate venture leaders from defense primes, and early-to-mid-stage dual-use startups. With a curated, high-signal audience and intimate format, this event offers rare access to the people shaping the future of dual-use innovation.
Our panel will feature leading voices from the corporate venture arms of major federal contractors: Ali Perez of Lockheed Martin Ventures, Michael Hauser of SAIC Ventures, and Bill Collier of Noblis Ventures. The conversation will be moderated by Matt Byington of General Catalyst, whose national perspective from outside DC adds important dimension to a dialogue often rooted in the Beltway. Together, these leaders will offer insider insight into how corporate venture teams evaluate emerging technologies, partner with startups, and align investments with mission priorities—offering a rare window into how capital, capability, and national interest converge to accelerate innovation at scale.
VC in DC unites the venture capital community to catalyze startup success and economic growth across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.
STATION DC brings together visionaries, innovators, and policymakers to tackle pressing national challenges at the intersection of technology and public purpose.
