I've been working on an VC investment thesis on Defense Technology. Wanted to start sharing these thoughts and so I've launched The TryWerx: a newsletter on venture capital and dual-use tech
First up: A Defense Tech Market Map! Let me know your thoughts!

Top 5 most exciting things to happen on the Upper West Side in my lifetime.
As a bearded Yankees fan this is the greatest day of my life. LET THE LOCKS FLOW #Chasefor28 #PinstripePride
Statement from Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner on the alteration of Yankees facial hair policy:
ALT Statement from Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner RE: Alteration of Yankees facial hair policy In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees - spanning several eras - to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback. These most recent conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years. Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy.
Haven’t been this sad since we lost Big Nick’s
Hoya Hoops x Defense Tech Crossover is my dream scenario 🐶 🚀
Witnessed an emotional family moment at SFO this morning as a mom and dad said goodbye to their son heading off to college. Half dozen duffel bags. Smiles. Tears. Kid decked out in Villanova gear and his parents with matching hats.
As I passed them by, I said “Hey kid, Nova sucks. Let’s go Hoyas”.
The dad laughed, turned to his son, and said “welcome to college”. 🤣
If Chai Pani has a million fans then I am one of them
If Chai Pani has ten fans then I am one of them
If Chai Pani has only one fan then that is me
If Chai Pani has no fans then that means I am no longer on earth
If the world is against Chai Pani then I am against the world

My dad first came to this great country from Jodhpur, India in 1968.
He borrowed $1k from his uncle for the trip and got a full scholarship for a Masters in Mechanical Engineering from Marquette University.
He got an arranged marriage with my mom in 1972 and they both came to live together in Wisconsin, strange people in a strange land.
They moved to Iowa to work for John Deere where my sister and I were born and started their own business. I was lucky to watch their business grow first hand and that inspired me to become a 5x founder myself.
Today I'm lucky to work with the best founders every day, and I can report that this American Dream that's rooted in my family's story-- and millions of other families here-- is as is as strong as ever.
Thank you, and happy birthday America ❤️🇺🇸
Had a great time at my first @PitchandrunNYC! Great convos with some awesome founders and VCs all while taking in some views of the city and breaking a nice sweat… nothing beats that on a Friday morning🏃🏾💨💪🏾🚀
