His schedule is tight. Even with an hour at our disposal, there was far too much to cover: we wanted to talk not only about Defence Tech startups in Ukraine, but also the global context. Denys has extensive expertise in both. After 2014, he was involved in reforms at Ukroboronprom and has plenty to say about that period and about Ukraine\u2019s preparation for the full-scale invasion. Another topic that surfaced often was the challenges facing the defense industry today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Gurak doesn\u2019t see challenges as purely negative. He points out that Ukraine is gaining experience that no partner nation and perhaps no other country currently has. The full-scale war has forced the US and Europe to rethink military doctrines. For Europe in particular, Ukraine\u2019s front line has become a catalyst for rearmament after decades of underinvestment. If Kyiv can seize this moment, it has the potential to become a major defence tech hub for the democratic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/denysgurak02-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/denysgurak02-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/denysgurak02-1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/denysgurak02-1-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/denysgurak02-1-768x525.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Denys Gurak. Photo credit: Mits Capital.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with partners Perry Boyle and Anton Melnyk, Denys decided to channel their experience into building Ukrainian technology companies in the defense sector. That\u2019s how MITS Capital was born, a company that works with startups across several stages of development. In this interview with Scroll.media, Denys explains how it all works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the investment firm operate? We\u2019ve heard about your acceleration program, and now there\u2019s news of your first significant, multimillion-dollar investments.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MITS Capital is an investment group working across different Technology Readiness Levels (TRL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We start with MITS Lab, where we identify future frontline problems and find engineering solutions to address them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next comes the accelerator, designed to help teams find Product\u2013Market Fit and build a Go-to-Market strategy. Many Ukrainian Defence Tech startups are products, not companies \u2014 there might be a drone or robot that can perform a task, but there\u2019s no structured business behind it. We teach teams how to build a proper company to secure orders and attract investment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The last stage is the fund, which involves substantial investments and additional support, including M&A preparation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We also have an Investment Banking division for mature companies that are not seeking acceleration or venture investment. We advise them, support M&A transactions, attract strategic investors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With our latest significant investments, you can now clearly see all stages of our work in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How big is the team, and who\u2019s on it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are almost 20 people. Some are cross-functional specialists, but most focus on delivering the four core processes I described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the size of the fund? Who are your main LPs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t disclose the fund size. Our ambition is to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Ukraine. We haven\u2019t raised that much yet, but we\u2019re working toward it. We\u2019re ready to invest heavily because the opportunities we see are at least 10\u00d7 the current volume of investments.\nWe also don\u2019t name our LPs. Broadly, they\u2019re from Europe and the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there really enough big-scale Ukrainian startups to absorb that kind of capital?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our company\u2019s thesis is that money is needed for scaling. This isn\u2019t traditional venture capital, where you gradually give money for rounds A and B and then go for an IPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re in the middle of a big war. Say a startup has invented an exceptional motor for drones \u2014 they need to scale now, build production facilities, and supply both the front line and government contracts. For investors, that means dividends or an exit via M&A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a typical situation for the defence tech industry but unusual for Ukraine, where this market barely existed three years ago. Winning the war requires unprecedented production volumes, so yes, there\u2019s room for significant investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also crucial for institutional capital to enter Ukraine. Denmark\u2019s $5 million allocation to D3 is a good example. We need more of those; such investors understand the scale of what\u2019s being built here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So your investment ceiling is based on need, not a fixed ticket size?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exactly. We base funding on strategy. That\u2019s why we start with acceleration: six months working with startups to determine how much they actually require. During the program, we help them build financial models and business plans \u2014 everything needed to define demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes some effort because most founders are engineers or IT specialists, not seasoned entrepreneurs. We teach them structured thinking while navigating one of the most complex, regulated markets. This is essential if you want to build a real company, not just a small workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you only invest in startups that go through your accelerator?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, yes \u2014 it\u2019s our sandbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The accelerator is a joint program with American University Kyiv. Who developed it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We did, together. AUK handles the business side, drawing from the University of Arizona\u2019s program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We take responsibility for the military side and involve members of our supervisory board with global defence market experience. They help us make investment decisions and build trust in the Ukrainian defence tech industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the trust issues?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukraine has to deal with the global narrative about corruption \u2014 the fear that \u00abeverything will be stolen.\u00bb At the same time, there\u2019s the reality of our Armed Forces\u2019 achievements, innovative engineering, and strong technical education. Involving the international community proves that Ukrainian businesses can operate by the book. Our experience shows it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many projects have you invested in so far?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eleven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But only two \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/scroll.media\/en\/2025\/07\/17\/teletactica-raises-15m\/\"><em>Teletactica<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/scroll.media\/en\/2025\/07\/11\/tencore-secures-374m\/\"><em>Tencore<\/em><\/a> \u2014 have been announced publicly. Why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Security. Too much publicity makes you a target for Russian missiles. Some founders simply don\u2019t want that risk. In wartime, it\u2019s better not to spotlight certain developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/znimok-ekrana-2025-07-11-o-09.19.52.png\" alt=\"Tencore-Termit\" class=\"wp-image-22355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/znimok-ekrana-2025-07-11-o-09.19.52.png 1180w, https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/znimok-ekrana-2025-07-11-o-09.19.52-300x238.png 300w, https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/znimok-ekrana-2025-07-11-o-09.19.52-1024x814.png 1024w, https:\/\/scroll.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/znimok-ekrana-2025-07-11-o-09.19.52-768x610.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">TerMIT. Photo credit: Tencore.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your priority investment areas?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond complex products, we value components \u2014 motors, cameras, AI \u2014 anything that helps Ukrainian manufacturers cut dependence on China. That way, they can also sell to other countries. We\u2019re also interested in platforms and integrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our core thesis is to reduce reliance on the Chinese supply chain. We believe Ukraine\u2019s expertise can help Europe and, ideally, the US escape that dependence. Both are deeply tied to Chinese suppliers and are hesitant to break away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So you\u2019re not focused on dual-use tech?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any quality military technology can be adapted for dual use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Even a missile?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not the whole missile, obviously, but its engine, circuit boards, and other components could be sold on civilian markets. That\u2019s actually easier: exporting weapons is currently impossible, but components can be exported and, sometimes, with higher margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the biggest challenge for the defence tech industry in Ukraine?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Structure and scaling.\nRussia mass-produces just three drone models and still terrorizes Ukrainian cities with them. They put Shaheds on an assembly line. They rolled out fiber-optic production at speed.\nUkraine lacks that consistency. We have 10 different companies making DeepStrike drones, each under its own agency. I believe this fragmentation works against us. The Ukrainian defense industry needs a smarter, more coordinated approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout our conversation, Denys kept returning to one key point: Ukrainian defence tech startups don\u2019t need sky-high paper valuations \u2014 they need large sums to scale production now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abI\u2019ll never tire of saying it: of course, we have to build businesses. But our number-one goal is to win the war. We can compete for LPs, for startups, and for higher valuations, but if we lose the war, there will be no Ukrainian defence tech industry. What difference does it make how much we earn if we lose? If we win, that alone is a huge victory \u2014 and everyone will earn so much it\u2019s impossible to calculate today. For me, Ukrainian Defence Tech isn\u2019t about a slick pitch deck; it\u2019s about bringing victory closer and having a real impact on the battlefield.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The meeting with Denys Gurak, co-founder of MITS Capital, had been arranged in advance.
