/ About this event
Most of the defense-tech conversation in LA this week is about what the next war might require. This one is about what the current war has already settled.
A moderated fireside with Misha Rudominski, CEO and co-founder of HIMERA (tactical comms now selling internationally, delivering to multiple countries’ militaries), whose products are tested against a live Russian adversary the same week they ship, and Justin Zeefe, Founding GP of Green Flag Ventures, the first US venture fund to specialize with a full-time presence in Kyiv.
For founders: which sector-standard assumptions died on contact, why attritable beats exquisite, and what allied militaries are actually buying now that they want capability that cannot be politically switched off.
For investors: what’s signal and what’s noise, why valuation is not validation and an LOI is not traction, and why the arithmetic behind the largest private defense valuations does not close.
This event is a part of #LATechWeek, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
