Today's episode of Building the Base is part two of our "Founders in Focus" series, recorded at Manifest: Demo Day where 34 companies from across the defense industrial base demoed their disruptive tech.
Hosts Hondo and Lauren caught up with some of the most dynamic founders: Tyler Sweatt from Second Front, Josh Lospinoso from Shift5, and Troy Demmer from Gecko Robotics, asking them everything from "Are founders born or made?" to "What would you like to tell DoD leadership today?" Please enjoy this rapid fire format, packed with learnings from real experiences.
