This Episode: Ari Schuler drops in to share insights from his years inside DHS and what startups need to understand about entering the CBP and DHS markets. We talk go-to-market strategy, how authority is shifting across agencies, and what happens when O6s start writing their own requirements. There’s a deep dive into how DOD and DHS actually collaborate (or don’t), the risks of interoperability gaps, and what it takes to build a team that can navigate federal acquisition. Plus: international dynamics, dual-use dilemmas, and what VCs are actually interested in.
