Neil Keegan has done it all — from Goldman Sachs to leading a family office, and now co-founding Marlinspike, a VC fund focusing on national security.

In this episode, he shares how dual-use technologies, bold founders, and a “Message to Garcia” mindset are shaping the future. 


What You’ll Learn:

• Why Neil believes we’re in the most dangerous geopolitical era since WWII
• How Marlinspike helps founders get traction across defense and commercial markets
• What “peace through strength” really looks like in venture capital
• Why they back founders with grit, clarity, and the will to win
• How Neil balances being an investor, operator, and proud #girldad of twin daughters
