The Pentagon just closed out a two-day tour to win the hearts, minds, and technical talent of Silicon Valley.
At a lecture at Stanford yesterday, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter discussed plans to recruit engineers to the Pentagon’s new cybersecurity force, invest in startups, and establish a Defense Department outpost here in the hoodie of innovation. Next he dropped by Facebook to meet with Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Today, Carter power-brunched at Andreessen Horowitz’s headquarters, where he met Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Ben Horowitz, as well as CEOs from security startups in the firm’s portfolio.
