As part of Fed Supernova 2025 in Austin, TX, I had the opportunity to appear on Nick Spiller's Austinpreneur podcast on the episode titled “Beyond Grants: How Federal Credit is Rewriting Startup Finance.” We covered some of my professional history, but spent most of the hour talking about how the Biden and second Trump administrations are putting industrial policy into action through the CHIPS and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the establishment of the Office of Strategic Capital, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. 

There's never been more money available for companies operating in the defense industrial base/maritime industrial base and we're helping raise awareness of these programs and setting conditions for companies to make successful applications.
