Ep 301Dual-Use Technology, Defense & the Next Wave of Innovation with JP Keating

We sit down with JP Keating to explore the rapidly evolving world of dual-use technology — companies and technologies that can serve both commercial and government applications.

As investors and entrepreneurs increasingly look toward defense, AI, advanced technologies, and the space economy, dual-use companies are attracting significant attention. But investing in this sector comes with a different set of challenges, opportunities, and considerations than traditional venture investing.

In this conversation, JP discusses what investors often misunderstand about the dual-use market, what makes these companies unique, and what founders should understand before entering the space.

Topics include:

• What is dual-use technology, and why is it attracting growing investor attention? • What do investors most often misunderstand about the sector? • How is investing in dual-use companies different from traditional startups? • What advice should founders consider before entering the dual-use market? • How can entrepreneurs balance commercial opportunities with government contracts? • How resilient is today's defense and technology supply chain, and where are the biggest risks? • How are geopolitics reshaping opportunities in defense, AI, and advanced technology? • Where are the biggest commercial and investment opportunities emerging in the space economy? • Which technologies and markets could create significant opportunities for founders and investors over the next decade?

JP's perspective provides a look at the intersection of entrepreneurship, investment, technology, government, and national security — and how those forces are shaping the next generation of companies.

Whether you're a founder building an advanced technology company, an investor evaluating emerging markets, or simply interested in where technology and global markets are heading, this episode offers a framework for understanding the opportunities and challenges ahead.
