Darwin puts decision-making power in the hands of the people protecting our country, at the speed and quality missions demand.

Avelyn Austin reposted thisAvelyn Austin reposted thisOn the ground at Modern Day Marine with Google Public Sector, every conversation reinforces the same reality: operators are making complex decisions where failure is not an option. That is why we built Darwin. Darwin gives mission teams a way to simulate hardware in real, physics-based scenarios and generate detailed after-action reports in minutes. The result is pre-decision intelligence that builds confidence: a clearer picture of performance, tradeoffs, and how systems perform together. What we’re hearing will continue to shape how we build.

Avelyn Austin shared thisAttending Modern Day Marine next week? LGNDX will be with Google Public Sector (Booth 1911). I’ll be there with Mike Aleo and Taylor Reskin showcasing our advanced simulation platform, designed to run physics-based scenarios that validate strategy and visualize complex outcomes. Whether managing air, space, or cyber environments, we're helping leaders pressure-test their systems, understand trade-offs, and move forward with greater confidence. Come by, say hi!, and see it in action. 4/28–4/30 | Booth 1911

Avelyn Austin reposted thisAvelyn Austin reposted thisWith #Artemis in motion and expected to splashdown later this week, and momentum building across initiatives like #GoldenDome, the pace of innovation in the space industry is accelerating in real time. We’re heading to the #SpaceSymposium with Aurex at exactly the right moment. Ahead of the conference, we’ll be in Arvada capturing stories behind their Flight Factory—then on the ground in Colorado Springs documenting industry leaders shaping the future of space technology. At LGND, we act as creative accelerators for our partners—translating complex, high-stakes technology into clear, compelling narratives that drive attention and adoption. Going? Let’s connect. Ping me and we’ll find time. Space Foundation

Avelyn Austin reposted thisAvelyn Austin reposted thisAs Artemis pushes the boundaries of what’s achievable in space, it reflects a broader shift: precision, speed, and resilience are no longer aspirational—they’re required more today than ever before. LGND is proud to partner with teams like Aurex who are building at that edge. Not in theory, but in practice, Aurex is delivering advanced systems that support the next era of space technology and deterrence. #artemis #artemisII

Avelyn Austin reposted thisAvelyn Austin reposted thisAmerica's most asymmetric advantage is its small business innovation engine that designs, prototypes, and builds technology the government can't produce on its own. For years, we've talked about building the marketplace we wish existed to connect not only the government to industry, but to create infrastructure to team and solve problems across science, technology, engineering, and biotech. Make the valley of death easier to navigate. Get to ATO faster. Deliver. That idea is now a reality. We're currently in talks with innovative launch customers. Stay tuned or schedule a demo. https://lnkd.in/eFBRimfwLGNDX - Apollo EVO - Evolution of Defense InnovationLGNDX - Apollo EVO - Evolution of Defense Innovation

Avelyn Austin shared thisIf you've partnered with LGNDX or seen our work, you know the level of creativity and execution our Product team bring to complex problems. Join us tomorrow, March 26, at the Warfighter AI Innovation Summit hosted by Federal AI Accelerator at Carahsoft. We’ll be showcasing software designed to give operators, planners, and decision-makers a measurable edge: -- Physics-based counter-UAS simulation -- AI-powered launch operations training -- Space and satellite supply chain intelligence If you’re attending, come find me, Mike Aleo, Patrick Sims, William Hardee, and Taylor Reskin at the LGNDX table. And if there’s someone we should be talking to, I’d welcome and appreciate an intro!

Avelyn Austin reposted thisAvelyn Austin reposted thisUsually at Missions + Markets I’m behind the camera with the LGND team, helping tell founder and VC stories (if you haven’t already, definitely check those out 🙂). Last night I stepped away from the lens to experience it as an attendee and listen to CVC leaders from Lockheed Martin, Noblis , and SAIC share how they’re thinking about defense and dual-use investment in 2026. There’s something different about being in the room. You hear how priorities are framed, how risk is evaluated, and where capital is actually moving. From a storyteller’s perspective, I’m always listening for what gets attention, what builds trust, what makes people lean in. When we’re building brands and shaping go-to-market stories in defense and national security, that context sharpens the work. The strategy starts upstream. Appreciate Bill Collier, Matt Gittleman and VC in DC for bringing together the operators, investors, and builders shaping what comes next!

Avelyn Austin reposted thisAvelyn Austin reposted thisVia The Wall Street Journal’s Katie Deighton, the newest “hot” role is one of the oldest in history: storyteller LinkedIn jobs postings mentioning “storyteller” doubled in the past year, as companies try to wrest back control of their narratives. At the same time, people are calling out what everyone already feels: AI slop is everywhere. Endless content. Little differentiation. Low trust. That tension is the moment. Storytelling today is not about more words. It is about clear signal in a noisy system. And it does not live in just a blog post or pitch deck. It lives in brand systems, videos, and across web platforms. It has to feel authentic, while meeting a high production bar. It has to scale across customers, investors, and talent without feeling synthetic. That is where LGND operates. We build brands and digital experiences to be more human, credible, and intentional in an era of automated sameness. When content becomes commoditized, creative clarity becomes the advantage. https://lnkd.in/efKa2xam

Meagan’s recognition as a GovExec 2026 Federal 100 awardee reflects her leadership and partnership working alongside federal leaders to remove friction, challenge assumptions, and build acquisition approaches that scale when it counts. The Federal 100 recognition underscores the broad effort underway in government and industry to turn reform into execution. Dcode is all-in on supporting the leaders and teams doing that work every day. Congratulations, Meagan!

LGNDX has been hard at work creating a new kind of CUAS wargaming and simulation platform for the United States Department of War. Over the last three days, our partners at Google Public Sector invited us to showcase this new functionality at Modern Day Marine 2026. A big thank you to our Google Public Sector partners, Janes, and all of the hardworking United States Marine Corps folks with whom we engaged. Looking forward to getting this into the hands of the warfighter. More to come. Matt Doxey Travis Rapp Jan Niemiec Dominic Peralta Ryan Gatterdam Ben Conklin Thomas Sweatman

Avelyn Austin reacted on thisAvelyn Austin reacted on thisI spent this week at Modern Day Marine, surrounded by people across the military, government, and industry all focused on a shared goal: supporting and protecting those who serve our nation. Seeing firsthand the technologies and ideas being developed every day in service of that mission was nothing short of invigorating. I'm proud to play a part in it through what we’re building at LGNDX, helping put better decision-making tools in the hands of operators, at the speed today's missions demand.
