Into the Gundo with Jakob Diepenbrock and Joshua Levine

El Segundo as a hardware hub, the drive to unseat industry incumbents, and bridging the valley of death in federal procurement

Tim Hwang and Rachel Reses are joined by Discipulus Ventures founder Jakob Diepenbrock and FAI Director of Technology and Statecraft Joshua Levine to explain the hard tech boom in El Segundo, CA. We cover: what makes a city attractive to innovators, whether building in the physical world can ever really be considered a “trend,” what kind of founder gravitates toward the Gundo, and why using longevity science to create an immortal Palmer Luckey just might be the key to never becoming the stodgy establishment.
