Reston, VA — August Interactive, the leading AI-driven gaming and technology solutions studio, is proud to announce the addition of Nicolas Adams as its newest Advisor. With a career spanning over a decade in the military, seven years on Capitol Hill, and extensive experience advising frontier tech startups, Nic brings unparalleled expertise to the team.
Nic's career is defined by three key areas: military service, public policy, and technology innovation. As a former Army intelligence officer, Nic served in Afghanistan on multiple deployments, gaining firsthand leadership and strategic insight. After his military service, he transitioned to Capitol Hill, where he worked on high-impact national security and defense initiatives, including his influential contributions to the bipartisan Chips for America Act. This critical legislation revitalized U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, strengthening both the economy and national security.
Most recently, Nic has been advising early-stage tech startups, helping innovators in defense, energy, AI, and cybersecurity navigate the complex ecosystems of Washington, DC. His deep understanding of government operations and his ability to connect key stakeholders make him a powerful advocate for transformative technologies.
"Gaming is such a universal language in the veteran community. August Interactive is not only tapping into this powerful ecosystem but also redefining how veterans connect, build community, and drive impact. I'm thrilled to be part of a team that is creating innovative solutions using AI and gaming, while also addressing critical challenges in national security and beyond."
