Join us for this month’s Speaker Series on 5/21: Scaling Companies in Uncertain Times
In today’s volatile landscape, scaling a high-tech company requires not only innovation—but resilience, adaptability, and strategic foresight. It takes a lot to lead during moments of economic uncertainty, global conflict, and rapid technological change?
For the next Scaling Montana Speaker Series, we’re bringing together two leaders to discuss what it’s like doing it right now: Garrett Smith, Founder and CEO of Reveal and Les Craig, General Partner at Next Frontier Capital.
They’ll share real-world insights on:
-
Navigating growth amid global uncertainty
-
Lessons from operating at the intersection of defense, intelligence, and innovation
About the Speakers
Garrett Smith founded Reveal after more than 20 years as a U.S. Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, with leadership roles in Force Recon and special operations. He has since led Reveal through growth into a trusted partner for the U.S. DoD and international security forces, with deployments in Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel and beyond.
Les Craig brings deep experience as a venture capitalist, intelligence officer, and tech founder. Before joining Next Frontier Capital, he co-founded RedOwl Analytics (acquired by Forcepoint/Raytheon), served at the CIA, and led innovation initiatives at MSU and the Blackstone LaunchPad.
This session is designed for founders, investors, and operators building in high-stakes environments—and anyone curious about what it takes to grow a company when the world is anything but stable.
