Venture Capital Firm Focuses On Autonomy And Contested Logistics
In-Q-Tel, a venture capital firm born from the CIA, is refashioning its investment strategy to focus on key areas like autonomy, contested logistics, and critical infrastructure. CEO Steve Bowsher will outline his vision of ‘mission investing’ and ‘forward-deployed conflict’ at a private CEO summit, emphasizing the need for faster tech deployment in modern conflict. The overhaul follows consultations with defense and intelligence officials, and may mark a significant shift in the US government’s approach to defense spending. This development was first reported by Axios.
