In this episode, we’re joined by Naga Varun Kanaparthy, founder of Impatient Software, a defense tech innovator developing tools that help law enforcement, military personnel, and emergency responders operate more safely and effectively. With a background in robotics and software engineering, Naga walks us through how his work is enhancing mission-critical communications, real-time tracking, and tactical awareness using satellite-connected tech.
He shares the real-world challenges of building hardware solutions for the government, how deepfakes and digital evidence are changing law enforcement accountability, and why collaboration and resilience are critical for any founder — especially in the defense space.
We also dive into what makes a great hackathon, how to validate your product in the early stages, and why understanding policy and procurement is key to success in dual-use innovation.
