Defense Innovation + Investment Happy Hour

October 13 @ International Spy Museum in Washington, DC

​Timed to coincide with the opening day of AUSA, this cocktail reception at the Spy Museum brought together the driving forces of national security innovation. With a focus on bridging capital providers and capital demand, the evening spotlighted venture-backed technologies tackling some of the most pressing operational challenges facing the U.S. national security community.

​Hosted by AIN Ventures, Long Knife, Washington Harbour Partners, P72 Ventures and SVDG, this gathering was designed as a convening space for capital markets in the national security sector. Participants gained exposure to groundbreaking technologies emerging from the venture-backed defense landscape while also exploring diverse funding vehicles that are opening new doors for innovation.

Thank you to all of our co-hosts and the over 150 innovators who joined us for a beautiful night of exchanges and conversation.
