About this event
The Department of Defense is embracing a commercial-first model: operating at startup tempo, adopting dual-use technology, and shortening the path from breakthrough to fielded capability.
The Bay Area already holds the other half of the equation: the Defense Innovation Unit, NASA Ames, the national laboratories, the world’s leading frontier AI companies, and the deepest concentration of venture capital on the planet.
What this moment lacks is not capability, capital, or urgency. It is a place where they converge.
No dedicated forum is built to bring together the founders creating critical technologies, the investors funding them, the government leaders who can buy and deploy them, and the veterans who understand both the mission and the market. The missing layer is human infrastructure: a high-trust, high-signal environment where introductions become pilots, partnerships, contracts, and companies—and where veteran operators are central, not peripheral.
The NatSec + Space Innovation Summit is designed to create that environment. VetsinTech and the Bay Area Council will convene 250–300 hand-selected leaders at the intersection of national security, space, frontier technology, and venture capital—aboard the historic Klamath at Pier 9 during San Francisco Fleet Week, with the Blue Angels overhead and Navy ships on the Bay.
