I should be charging for my research but here goes: Bob Grigsby is the Strategic Advisor to Getswift. He was the one that got them the in for NA Williams and Amazon (IMHO). He is the founder of BlueSky Works LLC.
Blue Sky Works, LLC is a collaborative ecosystem designed to enable and empower start-ups through a platform that efficiently and effectively provides a path to scalability. Blue Sky Works provides seed investment, best-of-breed programming, strong mentorship, embedded professional services, increased market exposure and better access to venture funding to develop truly investable companies.
He is also a member of the board for Warriors to Citizen:
Warrior2Citizen (W2C) is an organization built by warriors for warriors. We focus on troops during that critical transition period when they return home from war zones. W2C programs are specifically designed to provide high quality, focused, psychological and spiritual counseling for the warrior and their family in a peaceful setting that will nurture the healing process without outside distractions. Returning veterans have unique transition issues including: moral injury, relocating, finding employment, re-adjusting to family life, re-creating their identity from soldier to civilian and re-establishing many other relationships. W2C believes that those veterans having difficulty making the switch from warrior to citizen are encountering the accumulated effects of stress, induced by the warrior experience and combined with the stress of transition from a combat setting to a civilian lifestyle. Our goals are designed to improve the quality of life for transitioning military veterans and their families.
There's the path to defence. Getswift always signal their direction to those that listen. For those that haven't read their CR press release - Defence is mentioned, as it was in their termsheet to sophisticated investors.
