Darkstar is a coalition of over 30 unicorn founders, hackers, and investors from Estonia, Ukraine, Germany, France and UK. We are united by one goal: building up the European Defense Tech ecosystem!

We are organizing 5-day Extreme Bootcamps for Defense Tech startups in collaboration with the best units across the Ukrainian army and institutions - hosted in Ukraine! The next one will be taking place in Spring 2025.

We are seeking up to 10 teams that already have products combat tested on the Ukrainian frontline or will have them there within 6 months. We will help these teams grow, scale, and accelerate their progress.

The best teams will be offered potential investments from a pool of over €1.5 million, with individual teams being potentially offered upwards of €0.5 million. The deadline for applications is 1st of February.
