"The way you do anything is the way you do everything." Meet Patrick Eberhart, Account Executive at Defense Unicorns. 10 years as a SEAL Officer has a way of shaping how you see teams, missions, and what it means to execute. Patrick built high-performing teams, worked across government, military, and industry, and developed a passion for turning hard problems into real-world impact. When it was time for his next chapter, he wasn't looking for just any opportunity. Patrick wanted a mission-driven environment where he could keep supporting the community he came from, surrounded by people who operate at the same level. Defense Unicorns checked every box. We're lucky to have you, Patrick. 🦄

"General Washington, how many controls are there in NIST SP 800-53, Sir?" The answer is: A lot.

The internet has opinions. Fortunately, this time they're pretty good ones. We rounded up a few of our favorite reactions to the Defense Unicorns No. 71 car ahead of the Anduril 250 at Naval Base Coronado. Thanks to everyone showing the car some love. 🏁 🦄

We're excited that Brandt Keller is presenting today at KCD New York 2026 on "Transparent by Design: Shipping Artifacts and Evidence for Supply Chain Security."

Less than one week until Warhacker. ⏳ Builders are coming together to tackle real mission problems and get software into the hands of warfighters. Don't stop at prototype. Shoot for prod. #Warhacker #DefenseTech #DevSecOps #MissionSoftware #GetSoftwareToWarfighters

As the number of software-enabled systems at the tactical edge continues to grow, the challenge isn't just building capabilities; it's deploying, managing, and sustaining them across an increasingly complex fleet. That’s where UDS Fleet comes in — we get software to the edge. Learn more at bit.ly/4aBpJsC #BattlefieldOfThings #UDSFleet #DefenseTech #MissionSoftware

Honored to see our CEO Dr. @RobCSlaughter Slaughter featured in @ASForcesMag, the official publication of the @AFA_Air_Space, alongside Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John Lamontagne. ✈️ The article dives into how the @usairforce is accelerating software updates across its aircraft fleet, from cutting-edge platforms all the way to legacy systems that have gone as long as 18 months between updates. Slaughter speaks to exactly how Defense Unicorns is solving this problem: our UDS Fleet system can push new software packages across an entire squadron of aircraft or platforms using nothing more than a tablet. 🔄 Faster updates. More capable fleets. Better mission outcomes. 🔗 Read the full article here: bit.ly/4fCGirL #SoftwareModernization #USAF #SpaceForce #DefenseTech

"It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any." — Hugh Laurie Meet Olivia Wilford, Proposal Manager at Defense Unicorns. Olivia's spent her entire career in government contracting, working across the entire gov con lifecycle, starting in business development before transitioning into leading multi-million dollar proposals. Knowing gov con inside and out, Olivia knew exactly what she was looking for next. The mission brought her to Defense Unicorns. For Olivia, No other company is doing what Defense Unicorns is doing: getting the right software into the hands of mission heroes and strengthening the nation in the process. The culture sealed it. (The logo didn't hurt either!) Happy you took the leap, Olivia. 🦄

When your AI bill becomes a line item larger than your payroll.

These two Unicorns are taking the stage at Scenic City Summit today for "Homelab-in-a-Box: Self-Hosting with UDS." 🦄 Attendees get hands-on experience building, packaging, bundling, and deploying with UDS. Looking forward to a day of building, learning, and connecting with the community.

Ready for another great day at #TechNetCyber. Yesterday brought thoughtful conversations about software delivery, cybersecurity, AI, and the challenges facing today's missions. We're excited to continue those discussions. If you're here this week, stop by and say hello to the Defense Unicorns team at booth 2310.

We’re bringing something sweet to TechNet Cyber this week. 🍪 Defense Unicorns and @LastWall are partnering for a live demonstration of resilient identity in disconnected, degraded, and low-bandwidth environments, and we’re celebrating with a few co-branded treats at Booth #2310. Stop by to see the demo, meet the team, and learn how we’re helping deliver secure, mission-ready capabilities where they matter most.

Today we're launching UDS Fleet. It's purpose-built for one of the hardest problems in defense software: keeping mission systems current, secure, and operational at the tactical edge, where connectivity is limited and traditional IT support doesn't reach. UDS Fleet delivers: *Immutable, self-contained software artifacts that deploy without connectivity *Rapid restoration to pre-validated, known-good states *Local management via web, tablet, and mobile → Fleet-wide observability through UDS Fleet Command From satellites to submarines, the Battlefield of Things runs on UDS Fleet. 🔗 bit.ly/4fkeJmK

We're building software for the hardest missions on- and off-earth — and with 19 open roles across engineering, sales, and operations, we're looking to you to accelerate our delivery for mission heroes. With most roles fully remote, from Data Engineers and Proposal Managers to Senior Sales Enablement Managers, see all openings in the blessing: hubs.li/Q04jqq0Q0 #Hiring #ClearedJobs

"Do or do not, there is no try” – Yoda. Meet Mike Slaughter, our Go-To-Market (GTM) Engineer extraordinaire. Prior to joining Defense Unicorns, Mike spent most of his time welding and or in adjacent oil field roles. He decided to join us because of his passion for tech as well as the military. ✨ Thanks for making our website & marketing tech stack sparkle, Mike! ✨

What people think software deployment looks like: “Push update.” What it actually looks like: *Entire iceberg.*

We're heading to AFCEA #TechNetCyber next week, and we'd love to connect! 🚀 Stop by to talk mission-driven software, zero trust, and what modern DevSecOps actually looks like in classified environments. Want to meet with our team? Grab time on our calendar here 👇hubs.li/Q04j5vT30 #TechNetCyber #AFCEA #DefenseUnicorns #ZeroTrust #DevSecOps #NationalSecurity

We’re grateful to be included in Silicon Valley Defense Group’s 2026 NatSec100, recognizing the top venture-backed defense technology companies shaping U.S. national security today. Modern defense runs on software, but getting that software securely to the edge, across disconnected and constrained environments, is still one of the hardest problems in the field. We’re focused on making that delivery fast, repeatable, and built for the realities of mission environments. We appreciate being part of this year’s cohort and the broader community working to accelerate capability delivery for the warfighter. See the list: hubs.li/Q04j0TYW0

We deliver mission capability. UDS includes dedicated support to guarantee your mission success: 🦄 Unicorn engineers on call via phone & email ⚡ 24/7 response for critical incidents 🔒 Enhanced security for mission-critical environments Don't go it alone. We've got your six. 🦄 🔗 Learn more: hubs.li/Q04hTWwL0 #MissionSuccess #NeverAlone

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. At Defense Unicorns, this day carries deep meaning. The mission we support and the heroes we serve remind us daily of the courage and selflessness that protect our freedoms. We are grateful. We remember. 🇺🇸
