ABOUT
TechCongress is a startup non-profit, incubated at the Open Technology Institute at New America. They are nonpartisan and work with a diverse set of political voices, and do not take positions on issues. TechCongress focuses on building a new generation of technology leaders, and supporting fellows with professional development, networking, and freedom to tinker and test new ideas.
TechCongress places computer scientists, engineers, and other technologists to serve as technology policy advisors to Members of Congress through one-year Congressional Innovation Fellowship. They bridge the divide of knowledge and experience between DC and Silicon Valley for better outcomes for both.
The mission of the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum is to inspire, connect and empower people by convening events, forging partnerships and delivering tangible solutions. We do this in order to promote a culture of innovation in the U.S. national security community.
We are united in this purpose through service to our nation and the desire to bring new ideas and innovations to the national security ecosystem. We recognize that large, multi-tiered organization can stymie new ideas and ways of solving problems. Within any such group, there are people driven to find new, better, faster, cheaper, easier and more effective solutions. DEF unites those people, enabling them with avenues to express themselves, connect with like-minded individuals, and gain the insights, mentorship and support necessary to bring their ideas to execution.
If you have an interest in national security, regardless of whether you work in government, academia, a startup, policy or industry, you may also be a virtuous insurgent.
