We continue meetings in Washington with American investors and venture funds.
Among them — Nate Fick, Director of Equity Investment Strategy and Senior Director at Cerberus Capital Management — a global investment firm that works with private capital and strategic investments.
Nate has extensive experience in technology, security, public policy, and investments. Previously he was the U.S. Special Envoy for Cyberspace and Digital Policy, engaged in technology entrepreneurship, and began his career as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.
We also met with Guy Filippelli, founder and managing partner of Squadra Ventures — an American venture fund that invests in early-stage technology companies and helps them scale.
We talked about the Ukrainian defense tech ecosystem, taking our tech companies to global markets, and attracting international capital.
One of the key focuses of our meetings is creating a new defense technology investment fund. We are looking for international partners to attract capital and expertise and to create new companies around technologies that are critically needed on the battlefield today.
The more international investment and expertise we bring into Ukrainian defense tech, the faster we can create and scale technologies that give Ukraine an advantage on the battlefield.
