With the right connections you can have a very comfortable life with receiving grants from DARPA. I used to work for a startup founded by ex DARPA guys and it quickly showed that there was an insider club of current and former DARPA people that lived off grants.
- neatze 6y agoI was told long time ago that without being "insider" I will never get direct access to NYSE and will be able to make money by doing so, proved them wrong, while there is "insider club" in NYSE, to degree there same "insider club" for DARPA or any other enterprise/organizations. I think interesting questions is; to what degree insider club introduces friction for new comers with justified novel proposals.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoGood for you! Nobody is saying that it’s impossible for an outsider to get access to NYSE or to DARPA. I just said that there are arp ton of insiders who like to hand contracts and grants to each other.
- neatze 6y agoFor example, trust plays factor too from PM perspective at DARPA, it is not all conspiracy.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoThis is not about conspiracy. It’s just a comfy Insiders club like many others.
