Joining us from the United States: Marcos Cervantes, Managing Partner at Copperstone Venture Firm and CEO of Q-Branch. The investors who understand Defence best are usually the ones who have worn the uniform. Marcos Cervantes has spent 24 years bridging both worlds. He has built a career across venture capital and military operations, making strategic investments that drive technological advancement and directly backing the entrepreneurs, corporations and governments building the future of national security. At REVEILLE he brings the US investor's view of where defence technology capital is heading, and what that blend of military insight and investment discipline means for founders and funds on this side of the alliance. That mix of operator and allocator is rare. This room gets both in one voice. REVEILLE 2026. 9 September, Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach. Ready the Nation. Back the Mission.

*REVEILLE 2026 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT* Joining us from the United States: Heather Jo Richman, Founder of the US Defense Investor Network. If you want to know where American Defence money is heading next, ask the person the investors themselves go to. Heather founded the US Defence Investor Network and co-chairs the AUKUS Defence Investors Network, a group representing more than 400 billion dollars in private capital across the US, UK and Australia. Her career spans national security, technology, and investment, including roles at Stanford University and on Capitol Hill. She is flying to the Gold Coast to answer two questions that matter to everyone in the room: what does US capital want from Australia, and what do Australian founders and funds need to show to get it? Plus many, many more. Heather's network can't be found via a webinar link. It walks into the room with her. One conversation at REVEILLE will pay for your ticket many times over.

Welcome to the lineup: Will Scully-Power, General Partner at Pine Gap. Some people are drawn to space. Will Scully-Power was born into it. His father was Australia's first NASA astronaut, aboard Space Shuttle Challenger. As General Partner at Pine Gap, he runs a venture firm investing in space technologies across allied defence, intelligence and national security in the US, UK and Australia. Before that, he was a serial founder with a track record most investors only dream of: he built Datarati and secured the Asia-Pacific rights to Marketo, later acquired by Adobe for billions, and founded multiple marketing technology businesses through to exit. At REVEILLE, he will bring the rare combination of operator and allocator, and a lifelong conviction that space is where allied capability and capital are heading next. Few people can talk space, exits and sovereign capability in one breath. Will can. REVEILLE 2026. 9 September, Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach. Ready the Nation. Back the Mission.
