Mike hosts Perry Boyle to dive into Ukraine’s rapidly developing defense industry.

Perry co-founded MITS Capital (Military Innovation Technology Solutions), a US venture that just established the first defense tech accelerator in Ukraine. MITS’ vision is to revolutionize Ukraine’s defense industry by investing in Ukrainian defense tech startups, nurturing and developing the ecosystem, and rapidly maturing and scaling military tech solutions to the front lines.

They are raising a $50M fund and just selected the first cohorts for the accelerator.

We talk about the industry's ins and outs, compliance and regulatory blockers, the promising upside, Ukraine’s insanely fast innovation cycle, key investing insights, “winning” vs. “losing” the war, investing in peace, and much more.

This episode is PACKED with insights, but we still had some fun along the way. You should expect nothing less!
