One of the key areas of support for the companies in our portfolio is access to capital via networking and strategic introductions. The DefenceTech pitch night which we co-hosted last night with our partners, is a testament to our capabilities on the ground in the UK.
Last night we co-hosted a #defencetech event with UK-Ukraine TechExchange and NOTWICS at Goldman Sachs 💪 Firstly, five UK and #Ukrainian defencetech #startups had six minutes each to pitch to the room full of #investors, industry professionals and other #entrepreneurs. We heard Maksym Sich 🇺🇦 from Aegiq, Leon Marsh from Bodytrak®, Dr Guido A. I. Monterzino from Greenjets, Nikita Stepura from Skyeton, and Simon Muderack from Windracers about their dual purpose #technology, #funding story to date and future trajectory. Then, 🦖 Christopher Lowe moderated a panel between James Gayner MBE, Director of Defence at Plexal, Simon Godfrey, Chair of the techUK Public Sector Committee, and Justin Hedges OBE, Chair of Prevail Partners Limited. They discussed the current high electronic warfare environment, #AI, #procurement, and why testing tech in Ukraine is key for #investment. Thank you to James Westropp, Goldman Sachs, Andriy Dovbenko, Daria Partas, UK-Ukraine TechExchange, 🦖 Christopher Lowe, NOTWICS, Neil Robertson, Ian Wallis, Joe Doyle, Damilola Omotoso, Niamh Chapman, the speakers, and all those who joined us to make this great event possible. #Drones #Engines #Founder #Funding #Insight #Networking #Quantum #Wearabletech
