Paige Craig (Managing Founder & Partner at Outlander VC) joins guest host Sam Gray to break down how he evaluates founders in defense tech: how conviction is earned, what stands out early, and what separates the teams worth betting on.
What’s happening on the Second Front:
What earns a first check (and what doesn’t)
Insight, obsession, and character—and why they matter more than experience
How strong teams handle setbacks vs. hide from them
The reality of founder dynamics as companies grow
Where defense tech is going—and who’s going to build it?
