Rough notes still
REBELLION DEFENSE / FOUNDERS FUND
Chris Lynch arrived at the Pentagon as an exotic outsider - the department's resident hoodie-wearer, as Ash Carter put it. Now he and two co-founders have a defense-software startup with its own exotic aims.
Then-SecDef Carter hired Lynch in 2015 to start up the Defense Digital Service and infuse the Pentagon with some Silicon Valley-style agility and innovation. At DDS, Lynch attacked longstanding bottlenecks with a "SWAT team of hackers" who ran successful bug bounty programs and helped reshape IT policies - including helping DOD leaders to launch the gigantic Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, cloud program.
Now Lynch, who left DDS in April, has launched Rebellion Defense, a D.C.-based firm that seeks to sell software for defense and national security applications. It has financial backing from an array of Silicon Valley stars, including former Google chairman Eric Schmidt and Founders Fund, the venture capital outfit of PayPal founder Peter Thiel and Facebook co-founder Sean Parker.
We talked to Lynch and co-founders Oliver Lewis and Nicole Camarillo about Rebellion's efforts to make working on Pentagon projects appealing to the Stanford sneaker set.

D1: What are investors' expectations of Rebellion? Are they different from what VCs typically expect from Silicon Valley startups?
Lynch: I feel like big ideas take patient capital. If you want to disrupt something, you have to be willing to try something new. There are a number of companies that have made headways into defense and we talk a lot about companies like SpaceX, right? I think that when you look at companies like that, it just takes a slightly different approach to what you're looking at as the horizon on the investment.
If we can build products at an order of magnitude faster than what the Department is used to, then we also get to be a part of helping them in their goal. Because we can actually show results after a month, after two months, after three months. Where in some cases, the Department has expectations that run on timelines closer to years.
Lewis: And it's showing the Department that they can demand as much from technology as the rest of the world already knows it can.
D1: What's coming in the next year?
Lynch: We're going to continue to build amazing things. We're going to hire some of the best talent that there is in the entire country. We're a really big company that just happens to be smaller right now. We've already been well underway on our research lab around a bunch of things on artificial intelligence, looking to hire the lead of the AI lab. We've got other product lines that are going to be starting. There's a lot to do. It's a big mission.
D1: What will the Pentagon's plans for enterprise-level cloud do for the things you're working on?
Lynch: Consider that a 16-year-old who is looking to create a new software-as-a-service application in their spare time, can go swipe a credit card and have access to something that is very difficult for nearly anybody at the Department of Defense to have access to.
D1: But wouldn't a system of smaller cloud contracts be more lucrative for a software-supplying defense contractor, in that it would need more work and more fixes?
Lynch: I think that the Department needs a very simple, strong vision and strategy in which the capabilities in software and technology that it needs, consumes, builds, deploys, work in a very simple and elegant way. And the more complicated any solution is to provide that service I think is a terrible idea.
Lewis: If you're going to attract the best technical minds in the world, surprise surprise, you need to have intellectual integrity.

Pentagon's Former Top Hacker Wants His Startup to Inject Some Silicon Valley into the Defense Industry
"If the nerds don't show up and work on the mission of national defense…then I'm not sure who will," says Chris Lynch, of Rebellion Defense.
Chris Lynch arrived at the Pentagon as an exotic outsider - the department's resident hoodie-wearer, as Ash Carter put it. Now he and two co-founders have a defense-software startup with its own exotic aims.
Then-SecDef Carter hired Lynch in 2015 to start up the Defense Digital Service and infuse the Pentagon with some Silicon Valley-style agility and innovation. At DDS, Lynch attacked longstanding bottlenecks with a "SWAT team of hackers" who ran successful bug bounty programs and helped reshape IT policies - including helping DOD leaders to launch the gigantic Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, cloud program.

It has financial backing from an array of Silicon Valley stars, including former Google chairman Eric Schmidt and Founders Fund, the venture capital outfit of PayPal founder Peter Thiel and Facebook co-founder Sean Parker.
We talked to Lynch and co-founders Oliver Lewis and Nicole Camarillo about Rebellion's efforts to make working on Pentagon projects appealing to the Stanford sneaker set.
D1: There are lots of defense contracting companies, many that sell software. How is Rebellion different?
Lynch: We really wanted to build a place that's a strategic partner for software and technology, that just simply works, in defense. And we want to work on things that are very important to where we see the Department heading.
We self-fund all of our own products. We have capitalized and built Rebellion in such a way that we can choose what we work on and what we build. That gives us a lot of opportunity to create things that are impactful to the mission.
Lewis: One of the really big differences is the people. We're pulling Silicon Valley software engineers into this problem. So if you're graduating out of Stanford computer science, you look at the offers on the table, you're looking at Microsoft, Netflix, all the big tech companies.
We want to position Rebellion as the alternative to that kind of mission. So if you want to go and optimize food delivery, great, you can change the world. But if you really want to do something that is about defending democracy, you can come to Rebellion. We want to be a first choice for that kind of incredible world-leading talent. And that's different to a lot of the existing companies.
Camarillo: We're trying to lay some kind of foundation so that Silicon Valley actually starts to care about working on these problems with DOD in this space. For them, it's not a lucrative proposition right now. If we can do anything to facilitate the process of working with DOD as a customer easier, then maybe we can open the aperture to Silicon Valley jumping in and stepping up to these problem sets.

I guess they reckoned a MAGA hat would be a bit of a stretch for NZ, kek.
Note: they call this a Donald Trump shirt in this article.
Trump-shirt wearing abuser at Christchurch mosque should have been arrested, district commander says
Tom Kitchin and Oliver Lewis
18:50, Apr 11 2019
Canterbury's top police officer says a man wearing a Trump shirt who yelled abuse outside a mosque targeted in the Christchurch terror attack should have been arrested.
"Quite frankly, it's my view that we could have dealt with this matter in a better way," Canterbury police district commander Superintendent John Price said.

'Arrogant' and a 'coward' - relatives face Chch mosque shooting suspect in court
Sam Sherwood, Adele Redmond, Dominic Harris and Oliver Lewis·14:48, Apr 05 2019
Relatives of the victims of the Christchurch mosque shooting were in court on Friday when the alleged gunman appeared.
Relatives of people killed in the Christchurch mosque shootings branded the alleged gunman "arrogant" and a "coward" after they faced him across a courtroom for the first time.
Australian Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, faces 50 charges of murder and 39 of attempted murder following the massacre at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques on March 15.
The suspect appeared in the High Court at Christchurch on Friday morning via video link from Auckland, where he is being held in isolation in a high-security wing of Auckland Prison at Paremoremo.
…..
He has not yet entered pleas to the 89 charges, and police are still considering whether to lay further charges.
The name of one woman originally said to be among the dead - but who later turned out to be alive and well - has been substituted for Khalid Alhaj-Mustafa.
