From Sand Hill Road to the combat trenches of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, America Builds host William Allen has spent two decades where venture capital, technology and national security collide.
A former U.S. Marine and government contractor, William has worked and invested in more than 70 countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Colombia, and has produced documentary films from conflict zones in Burma, Somalia, Syria, Gaza and Haiti.
On America Builds, he brings together investors, warfighters, intelligence operators and founders for candid conversations about war, technology, investing and life. As founder and General Partner of Subrosa Ventures, William has spent a decade backing deeply technical founders building autonomy and security systems, several now multi-billion-dollar, category-defining companies.
