Vannevar’s founders Brett Granberg and Nini Hamrick recently talked to DFJ Growth News to discuss the founding of Vannevar Labs and the relationship between Silicon Valley technology and national defense.
From DFJ Growth’s Medium post:
It was that shared background in national intelligence that ultimately led to the 2019 founding of Vannevar Labs — which takes its name from Vannevar Bush, a technology pioneer who headed up the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during World War II and predicted a device similar to modern-day computers or smartphones. A couple of years later, the company launched a software platform called Decrypt, an information collection platform that is quickly becoming a key tool for the government’s non-kinetic missions in strategic competition in Europe and Asia. Today, military units across more than 15 government bases are using Vannevar Labs’ flagship product in their daily information-gathering routines.
