Engaging Private Capital in the Defense Industry: Tactics and Trends

Join NDIA for a high-impact training session designed to boost financial fluency across the defense ecosystem. Whether you're in government acquisition or leading an industry firm, this course demystifies how investors think, and how the Department of Defense can more effectively partner with private capital to build a resilient, innovative industrial base. You’ll walk away with a working understanding of core investment concepts, how companies actually raise capital, and the structure of relevant capital markets including venture capital, private equity, and commercial banking.'

The agenda includes tactical insights from top investors like David Rothzeid (Shield Capital) and Jonathan Calhoun (Bank of America), as well as a live fireside chat with Paul Madera, Co-Founder of Meritech Capital, who will share lessons from building one of the most successful growth-stage VC firms in the U.S. Speakers will take live questions from students in this interactive, behind-the-scenes discussion.
