  • How is software and autonomy changing the world of war? 

  • Why does the incentive structure of governments buying military equipment need to change around the world?

  • Will we see a world of robodogs fighting on battlefields? What does weaponry of the future look like?

3. Are We In a Defence Bubble:

  • With the massive increase in funding to defence companies, does Matt think we are in a defence bubble?

  • What does Matt believe all investors should know about the defence industry before they make investments in the space?

  • What should defence founders at the early stage know about building a defence company at scale? What changes?

  • Who will be the buyer for the many defence companies that have raised early rounds of funding and go out of business? 

4. Matt Grimm: AMA:
