On this episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, TJ Rowe (2F CRO) sits down with Samuel (Sammy) Semwangu, CEO of Bazze—a company redefining how commercial data is delivered into the national security enterprise. Sammy shares his journey from special operations to Silicon Valley, the tough lessons learned building in defense tech, and how Bazze evolved into the commercial data infrastructure behind some of today’s most forward-leaning intel operations.

What’s Happening on the Second Front

  • The shift from nation-state dominance to commercially driven intelligence
  • How Bazze built a federated API to unlock insights from 20+ data vendors in seconds
  • Why aligning with primes and integrators is key to scale—and survival
  • The incentive problem inside the building—and why smart software alone doesn’t solve it
  • Partner-led GTM, SBIR heartbreak, and why timing > everything
