About

At Defense Tech Underground, our mission is to serve American national security by championing the transformative impact of technology on the common defense. Hosted by Stanford students and alumni, our podcast is the platform where key leaders in defense technology and national security—including founders, venture capitalists, government leaders, military leaders, and active service members—share their insights and experiences.

Through engaging interviews and informed discussions, we aim to:

1. Amplify Stories: Highlight the pioneering efforts and breakthroughs in defense technology that are shaping the future of national security.
2. Facilitate Solutions: Address and navigate the complex challenges and governmental barriers to tech adoption, fostering a more agile and responsive defense ecosystem.
3. Promote Deterrence: Enhance public understanding and support for defense initiatives that deter adversaries and contribute to global stability, ultimately aiming to avoid conflict and preserve peace.

By bridging the gap between technology and national security, Defense Tech Underground is dedicated to ensuring our nation’s protectors have access to the best capabilities and innovations to carry out their vital missions.
