Virtuous Insurgents, Friends and Advisors 

Some rooms give you an edge. This one is designed to give you an Unfair Advantage.

On September 6th, at the River House — DEF’s secluded waterfront outpost just outside DC — we’re bringing together a select group of funded national security and dual-use founders with retired senior military leaders who’ve operated at the highest levels.

Join Lt. Gen. Karen Gibson and Rear Adm. Pamela Miller  to talk about leveling the playing field. 

We’re working to shift the dynamic, bringing the same power of advisory counsel to younger, smaller, and scrappier national security start-up companies through a “fractional GO advisory model.” 

No stages. No panels. No small talk. Unfair Advantage is a closed-door, all-day sprint where you’ll:

• Pressure-test your product, strategy, and assumptions against decades of operational experience

• Learn how to tap into senior leader networks without the bureaucracy that slows everyone else down

• Co-create a new model for founder–GO collaboration that bypasses traditional gatekeepers and accelerates results
