While the government is making it easier for defense tech startups to secure federal funding and cross the “valley of death,” it's also becoming a direct equity investor in some cases — a shift with far-reaching implications for the investment landscape.
In episode two of the “Forces of Law” podcast, Goodwin partner Liza Craig explains what's new, what pitfalls remain, and why this shift is bigger than any single administration.

As the Senate continues to consider the CLARITY Act, there are a number of reasons why this statutory implementation would better support and facilitate strong, secure and safe growth of crypto projects better than only relying on SEC, CFTC and agency guidance for strong growth of crypto projects.
In our recent webinar, Defining the Future of Digital Assets: The CLARITY Act and Key Industry Developments, Goodwin's Karen Ubell discusses the framework's potential benefits, including greater certainty for secondary market trading, a key differentiation from SEC guidance that will be important, if CLARITY passes, to ensuring the liquidity and transferability necessary for crypto networks to grow and thrive.

How much of a 510(k) can AI safely touch? We are hosting a closed-door MedTech regulatory breakfast with Matrix One at our Redwood City office on Thursday, August 20.
Conversation will focus on AI for regulatory affairs, a practical playbook for MedTech teams: where AI genuinely helps in device submissions and where it does not, the legal and compliance questions it raises, and keeping the design history file audit-ready. At the table will be Steven Tjoe of our Life Sciences Regulatory & Compliance group and Farhan Shahab of Moximed.
Coffee and breakfast will begin at 8:00 AM. Free to attend, spaces limited.

Some of the most important breakthroughs in AI and frontier technology never make it beyond the lab.
Federal research funding is declining. Corporate funding often comes with IP concessions. And traditional venture capital typically enters the picture long after the most critical research has been done. Too often, groundbreaking ideas are left without the resources needed to reach the next stage.
That's why we're excited to launch darkmatter lab in partnership with @UCBerkeley , with support from @googlecloud , @GundersonLaw , and @goodwinlaw.
Built for researchers before a company exists, darkmatter lab provides at least $1 million in resources per project, including research funding, compute credits, legal support, and operational expertise.
We're starting with AI and blockchain, supporting work in areas like AI infrastructure, agentic systems, cybersecurity, cryptography, compute optimization, and decentralized technologies.
This is the cornerstone of Hivemind's upcoming venture fund and a new approach to helping transformative research make the leap from academia into the real world.
