Joe Lonsdale is part venture capitalist, part cultural insurgent. As co-founder of Palantir and 8VC, he’s built a career betting early on disruptive technologies, from defense systems to biotech to enterprise software.

Joe speaks bluntly about institutional decay, the failure of modern bureaucracies, and why innovation, not ideology, will shape the next era of American leadership.
