Andouille Industrials

Disrupting the Primes Since Yesterday. Cost-Plus Since Tomorrow.

Known for

A pitch deck mocking the old defence giants that is now a pitch deck for becoming one. Winning contracts the incumbents lost, then subcontracting the incumbents to build them. A valuation that rises faster than its delivery schedule, and a founder in Harmer Lackey's floral shirts.

Character

Brisk, sun-faded and swaggering, it says 'software-defined' and 'attritable' where others say 'expensive' and 'breakable'. It calls every procurement officer 'a design partner' and every cost overrun 'a scope-of-mission expansion'. It describes the old defence giants as dinosaurs, then hires their lobbyists.
