«If we talk about investments, last year it was $40 million. This may not be such a large amount, but compared to 2023, when it was $8 million, it is a fairly large increase. And this year we plan for it to be $100 million,» Kushnerskaya explained in a comment to Militarny.
She added that the average checks of defense tech companies are also constantly increasing.
«Investments started at $20,000, $30,000, $35,000. Now it’s already several million dollars. Sometimes it exceeds $10 million. And this, again, is the stability of our Ukrainian defense tech,» says the head of Brave1.
