Hacking for Defense
Published February 15, 2024
Identifying the growing disconnect between national security readiness and technological innovation, Hoover Institution Research Fellow, Joseph Felter, helped pioneer Stanford’s Gordian Knot Center and establish the Hacking for Defense curriculum to engage promising students to drive defense innovation with startup velocity and mentality. These initiatives are dedicated to the application of lean startup methodologies to address critical national security gaps in the hopes of reinventing America's defense industry to meet 21st century challenges.
