General Catalyst Institute (GCI)

Maryam Mujica, Chief Public Policy Officer:
“The General Catalyst Institute (GCI) is pleased to endorse the ’Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery Act of 2025’ or the ‘SPEED Act’. I want to commend Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Smith for their serious and thoughtful leadership in crafting this legislation. We look forward to supporting the bill as it moves forward in the process. The reforms in the SPEED Act seek to address the root problems of the acquisition system, meant to push culture change that rapidly delivers capabilities for the warfighter.” 

Jonathan Clifford, Vice President of Defense Tech & Industrial Manufacturing Policy:
“At General Catalyst, we have what we believe are some of the world’s best companies that solve real problems the Pentagon should prioritize: Rapid integration of emerging tech, lessening bureaucratic burden, and advanced manufacturing methods that are built for surge. We look forward to supporting this legislation as it moves through Congress.” 

Aerospace Industries Association (AIA)

Eric Fanning, President and CEO: 
“Today’s introduction of the SPEED Act again shows industry that Congress is serious about making transformational and once-in-a-generation changes to the way we conduct business. Streamlining the acquisition process and removing onerous hurdles to get technology to the warfighter more rapidly will enhance the national security of the United States and bolster the defense industrial base,” Fanning said. “The Aerospace Industries Association thanks Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Smith for the collaboration and bipartisan support of the U.S. aerospace and defense industry. We look forward to working closely with them to advance this critical legislation.”

Professional Services Council (PSC)

"HASC has clearly identified core challenges such as the shrinking Defense Industrial Base and the high barriers to entry for new technology providers. The PSC supports the Committee’s practical, results-focused reforms and looks forward to collaborating with both the House and Senate to ensure these provisions are enacted into law."
