/ 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 built to fund Ukrainian defense tech, with a full-time presence in Kyiv.
Following the fireside chat, four startup founders will compete in a round of Battledecks. What's that? Founders who want a pitch slot earn it on stage first. Four minutes each, pitching the room on a deck they have never seen. The room picks the winner; they get to pitch their (actual) company first, followed by the other contestants.
