Some leaders in the defense tech industry, including Anduril cofounder Palmer Luckey, think that defense tech startups are poised for success during president-elect Donald Trump's second term. Over the last decade, Silicon Valley has made waves in the defense tech industry.
Luckey said it is "good to have someone inbound who is deeply aligned with the idea that we need to be spending less on defense while still getting more: that we need to do a better job of procuring the defense tools that protect our country."
Anduril's been around for about eight years now, Luckey said. We did well under Trump in his first administration, and we did even better under Biden in his administration, and I think we're going to do even better now.
The close relationships between Vance, Elon, and the defense VC and startup ecosystem will create a huge opening for real defense acquisition reform and widening.
