About this episode

This episode discusses Stark, a German defense company, and its innovative approach to unmanned systems in light of lessons from Ukraine.

Air Street Capital backs Stark, the German multi-domain defense company, in its €500M led by Founders Fund and Sequoia. In this episode, we discuss why cheap, software-defined unmanned systems in the air and at sea are the decisive lesson of Ukraine, and why we think co-founder and CEO Uwe Horstmann - a Project A GP and Bundeswehr reservist - is building the German neoprime Europe needs. Round led by Sequoia and Founders Fund, with the NATO Innovation Fund, Project A, and Air Street. Links: stark-defence.com · full post at press.airstreet.com · YouTube version
