I'm Mark Scianna, an investor focused on the world's most important missions. Together with investors, we support engineers bringing technology to the front lines of our biggest challenges and opportunities:- National Security- Public Safety- Transportation- Clean EnergyAs an operator, most of my experience was at Palantir, where I was a founding member of their defense team, spending 11 years as a forward deployed engineer. I was the team lead for “Palantir Forward” (the basis for an 800M Army contract), and “Palantir Mobile” (a product used by federal law enforcement). In support of our customers, I had the privilege to deploy to Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, Japan, and the Horn of Africa.
