  So Trey and Palmer, you know, we were the first investors in Oculus, right? And that's how we got to know Palmer, right? We invited him to one of our, you know, let's get together with all of our portfolio founders and hang out and play paintball kind of events. And he met Trey at that event. And then they were both, you know, being like, oh man, nothing really good exists in defense. This is really important. Boom, founding of Andurl. And I don't think you do this every day, right? But you do t

  I think a lot of key networks include OpenAI, DeepMind, Palantir, Stripe, Anduril, probably Fair out of Facebook, SpaceX for hardware. You know, there's a small number of places that are spawning all the founders who are doing the really interesting companies.

  And so at Andrel, one of the ways that we've been able to get around this is just being very clear. Like, you are signing up to work with the Department of Defense. That is the mission that you're signing up for. And I mean, we're about a third U.S. service veterans at Andrel, which is higher than any company that I'm aware of. And we're about 1,000 people now.

  I think that building, working in national security has been a great filter where people aren't going to come work for you unless they're okay working in a bit of a controversial field. I'm actually somewhat concerned about the Ukraine conflict in that regard in that in the making, in making defense mainstream, it makes it possible for people to potentially say, oh, that isn't controversial now. I'm going to go to this place and then I'm going to potentially attack people for their views. But I

  I was able to create Andrel because a small group of people were willing to give me a second chance to let me build something great in an important but controversial industry that was being constantly berated by people who thought we lived at the end of history. They invested in me while Jason was trying to poison my career and keep me on the ground. Thank God he failed. Thank God for investors who ignore him and people like him.

  when I started Andrel, I had already sold the company for billions of dollars and investors still didn't want to invest. I still had a tough time in a lot of meetings with venture capitalists and none of the conversations with VCs that I had were about my ability to hire or execute or build products. Everyone believed that I could do those things, even the ones who didn't like me much. The vast majority of conversations that we had were about whether or not it was even ethically okay to ever bui

  So on Thursday, what happened with Microsoft, they had a $24 billion contract with the United States Army to deliver some whiz bang thing. And they realized that they couldn't deliver it. And so what did they do, they went to Anduril. Now, why did they go to Anduril? Because Anduril has the technological supremacy to actually execute.
