Army FUZE: Presentation & Private Capital Roundtable

Panels
Written By Dayton Segard

January 21st, 2026 @ Menlo Park, CA

This session provided an overview of how the U.S. Army is engaging venture-backed innovation through Army FUZE. The presentation was followed by a candid, off-the-record discussion with key defense investors on what is working, where friction remains, and how capital and government can better align to accelerate capability to the warfighter.

Thank you to the Army FUZE team for their willingness to introduce their program to private capital.

I have been building websites & apps for over a decade and have done everything from providing middle-of-the-night on-call support to managing the development of insurance quoting apps.

Today, I build websites for businesses across a variety of industries and consult on website development, information architecture, and digital marketing strategy.

Regardless of size, my primary focus is helping businesses communicate their brand story—and connect with their audiences on the web—by creating engaging digital experiences.
