Yeah, I mean, you basically can't have a defense company if you don't have a large US business. The government thinks that we can deliver some pretty major stuff now and in the future. There are very few drone programs that would create a material enough amount of revenue to actually create a real business. There are lots of VC companies I would love to buy if I had an unlimited checkbook. Is there other like an ethical question of like, do we agree with sending thousands of missiles to Iran?
This is 20 VC with me, Harry Stebbings, and today I'm so excited for one of the most current shows we could do. We've got Matthew Steckman, president and CBO, chief business officer for Andreil. Just last week they announced a monster $20 billion contract with the US military, one of the largest ever. We could not have a more apt or pertinent guest as he takes us behind the scenes of both the contract and of Angeril. But before we dive into the show today, over 80% of Fortune 100 companies are running their businesses with Airtable.
