It was such a pleasure to join The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)'s Entrepreneurial Finance programme this week. Thank you to Juanita Gonzalez Uribe and the class for having me and hearing the MD One Ventures perspective on the #NationalSecurity, #Defence and #DualUse ecosystem. #VC #Finance #NationalSecurity #Defence #DualUse #Resilience

Helsing's move into the defence hardware space has rightly generated debate- and I was delighted to contribute to Anne Sraders' piece for Sifted covering some market perspectives from MD One Ventures. "Consortiums and partnerships across disciplines and across areas of expertise are integral to how the entire sector works." It will be interesting to see how Helsing navigates the ecosystem, and potential industry partnerships, at this particularly heightened period.

Huge thanks to Henry Whorwood! A great discussion- and find more on MD One Ventures report with Beauhurst in the link below. https://lnkd.in/dFru8unu
Talking DefenceTech: friend or foe. A great breakfast event at Digital Catapult in Kings X, organised by NOTWICS and FieldHouse Associates, featuring friends of Beauhurst: William McManners of MD One Ventures; Karl Eze of Point Zenith; and Steven Wood of Digital Catapult. Will made the salient point that given everything happening macroeconomically and geopolitically, an investor needs to be diversified even in within "dual-use" – or rather that dual-use might not be diversification enough. This is a theme we touched on in our report (shameless plug): https://lnkd.in/edQyrvt8 Dual-use spans a host of sectors; in the report we looked at cleantech, cyber, data/AI, and advanced manufacturing overall.
