Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, David Ulevitch, Katherine Boyle, Molly O'Shea
In 2019, David Yulevich established the American Dynamism Practice at Andreessen Horowitz to bridge the gap between private sector innovation and national defense needs, initially securing $660 million in capital to address supply chain vulnerabilities and modernize procurement. The firm leverages artificial intelligence and low-cost hardware to accelerate startups like Anduril and Flock Safety, while simultaneously advocating for policy reforms that replace rigid government contracting rules with outcome-based funding and competitive bake-offs. By promoting a shift toward private capital models and reducing reliance on foreign supply chains, the practice aims to revitalize U.S. industrial capacity as a critical component of economic and democratic stability.
