About

Brad Harrison is a decorated US Army Airborne Ranger and West Point graduate who explicitly translates military leadership, mission planning, and after-action review frameworks into his venture investing process, positioning himself as a "vet-to-VC" bridge for other veterans entering entrepreneurship and investing. He describes his core investing mission as "global peace through energy, autonomy, and advanced technologies," framing dual-use and defense-related investments in terms of deterrence and stability rather than conflict, which shapes both his deal selection and public narrative as a funder of technologies that make the world "better and safer."
