We highly recommend the National Counterintelligence and Security Center's latest booklet on "Secure Innovation: Protecting Our Edge" for all startups, investors, and the broader innovation ecosystem. It highlights how insider threats, supply chain vulnerabilities, and foreign adversaries pose real risks to emerging technologies—especially those with dual-use applications. For early-stage companies in national security, this underscores the importance of building security into your operations and culture from day one. New North Ventures is proud to support innovators who understand that a secure foundation is essential for long-term success. #NationalSecurity #Innovation #VC #Startups #TrustedCapital #DualUseTech #InsiderThreat

China responded to U.S. support for Taiwan with measures targeting thirteen US companies, including New North Ventures portfolio company HavocAI. While these actions carry minimal practical impact, they underscore a broader recognition: technological advancement serves as a powerful form of deterrence. It’s clear China is paying attention. Good. History shows us that maintaining peace requires readiness, and readiness stems from strength. At New North Ventures we're committed to backing founders who push boundaries and take bold risks to create transformative technologies. Their work reinforces the values we are strongly aligned with and plays a critical role in securing a future where freedom prevails. https://lnkd.in/eJMBrrev

Awesome to see the progress Crow Industries and portfolio company HavocAI are making in advancing multi-domain autonomous capabilities for national security and defense. This recent demo showcases the power of ground-sea robotic teams and the seamless integration of uncrewed systems under a unified Command and Control platform, redefining what’s possible in complex operational environments. The modern battlespace is evolving rapidly, and as conflicts like the war in Ukraine have shown, success will increasingly depend on the ability to deploy and coordinate swarms of uncrewed systems across the ground, sea, and air domains. These capabilities enable our national security apparatus to adapt to shifting adversarial tactics and maximize operational impact with minimal risk to human operators, and ensure our military and allied partners stay ahead of emerging threats. The future of multi-domain operations is here, and New North Ventures is excited to be part of the journey. #Innovation #NationalSecurity #DualUseTechnology #AutonomousSystems #MultiDomainOps #DefenseTech
