Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. military, defending our freedoms and way of life. Veterans Day transcends mere commemoration; it recognizes the courage, dedication, and sacrifice our veterans have shown in service to our nation. As President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared in the first Veterans Day Proclamation, "Let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain." ----------- At SCHOOLHOUSE, we proudly count many veterans as essential members of our community. Their leadership, insights, and experiences are invaluable as we work together to innovate and strengthen national security. Join us in honoring our veterans by building a more perfect union together. By collaborating and innovating, we can ensure their sacrifices continue to shape a safer, more secure future for all. ----------- Thank you to our Partner/Sponsors:?

COMMUNITY! SCHOOLHOUSE guest faculty Shyam Sankar, CTO of Palantir Technologies, recently shared his perspective on the profound transformation he has witnessed across NatSec over the past 18 years. What once felt like "howling into the wind" has evolved into a booming ecosystem, where defense tech startups are thriving. We are witnessing doors opening in ways previously unimaginable, creating unprecedented opportunities for mission-first founders! At SCHOOLHOUSE, we harness this momentum by providing pathways into to next capital, first customers, and broader meaningful community talent for founders dedicated to driving innovation in national security. As we witness early industry trailblazers like #Palantir (S&P500) pave the way, we are here to accelerate the next wave of defense tech innovation. https://lnkd.in/g2npAq9N Cc: Partner Sponsors: BVVC, Citizens, Second Front Systems, Clearspeed Rob Newson, Gene Ebersole, Joe Musselman #NationalSecurity #Innovation #Capital #Customers #Community #Palantir #DefenseTech
