Earlylands in Conversation - Ep. 15 - Investor Perry Boyle on Ukraine's Defense Tech Revolution

For episode 15 we welcome Perry Boyle, who has fast established himself as one of the most prominent Western investors – via his firm MITS Capital – in Ukraine’s burgeoning defense industry. Ukrainian defense technology, whether it be highly capable yet low-cost unmanned aerial and ground systems to path-breaking electronic warfare products, isgrabbing the attention of Western investors and highlighting the fact that defense innovation does not need to involve development cycles taking multiple years and tens of millions of dollars of investment. Perry and MITS Capital, and the just launched MITS Industries, is at the leading edge of this trend. Two quick notes – this interview was recorded just a few weeks before President Zelensky announced that the Ukrainian defense industry would be allowed to begin exporting certain types of products. And, finally, while our editing tool has impressive capabilities to cut out background noise, please be advised that this interview was recorded while Perry was in an airport lounge and there are a few moments where the bustle of global travel can be heard in the background.Podcast referenceshttps://mits.capital/https://mits.industries/https://www.boma.ngo/
