The SYSTEM is the Problem | Why America's Innovation Engine no longer works

America’s federal R&D and acquisition system was designed to deliver cutting-edge technology efficiently, cost-effectively, and on time. Instead, it’s become a bloated, self-protecting bureaucracy — institutionally corrupt, risk-averse, and addicted to its own process.

We don’t need another commission or reform memo. We need leaders with courage — people willing to think differently, use existing authorities, and break free from the comfort of failure.

Watch now to understand why America’s innovation engine has stalled — and what it will take to fix it.
