🇺🇸 Back from DC + Fed Supernova. Clear takeaway: ✅ Culture is the barrier. ✅ Infrastructure is the bottleneck. ✅ Partnerships evolving. ✅Without demand signals, nothing scales. Dual-use innovation isn’t optional — it’s a matter of national security. 📷 #DualUse https://t.co/FOW09R4kR9

At @reindsummit, the message across sectors (#manufacturing, #defense, #logistics, #energy, #infrastructure) was clear: Industrial capacity is not just economic infrastructure, it’s geopolitical leverage. Grateful to be in the room & proud @ironprairievc is part of the rebuild. https://t.co/1t9sKa7eXs
