There you have it! BREAKING NEWS! Huge thanks to the Defense Unicorns team — Robert 🦄 Slaughter, 🦄 Jeff McCoy, Josh Thompson, Austen Bryan and Lyndsi Stevens for becoming the newest sponsor of Unbiased Headlines!
I first met Rob, Jeff and Austen back during my time as Chief Software Officer for the Air Force and Space Force, when I was hunting for the best people to build my DevSecOps platform concept — the one that became Platform One. And they delivered beyond every expectation. God knows I wasn't easy to deal with. But they knew I was right (mostly), rolled up their sleeves, and made it happen for our nation.
Fine — I was always right. But let's not dig into that now.
Today, Defense Unicorns isn't just making an incredible impact on our warfighters' capabilities with UDS, Zarf, Lula and the rest of their stack. They're now helping make the news unbiased again.
And our sponsor program? I would have loved it back when I was running my last venture. Back then I paid $10K a month to defense-news media to get a barely 5K to 10K views. Ridiculous.
With UBH, sponsors often get over 120K views and 1.1M emails a month — and we're only four months in. Insane. We are the faster growing news media company!

The next war will be won with software and AI. And I'd bet on Defense Unicorns being at the front of it.
What are your thoughts? Will the next battle be won with expensive hardware or innovative software?
