America’s future depends on whether we can modernize the institutions responsible for our security, resilience, and prosperity. American Dynamism backs ambitious founders building companies to meet those needs at scale. But capital is only part of what new companies need to win. They also need leaders who understand how these institutions operate, where change gets stuck, and how to turn new technology into lasting national capability. Today, we continue to deliver best in class access to our founders by welcoming Colonel Jeffrey Glover and Greg Barbaccia as Advisors to a16z’s American Dynamism and Growth practices. Col.
