After leaving government, Mykhailo Fedorov has moved deeper into defense technology, raising money in the US and pitching new ways to turn Ukraine’s battlefield experience into weapons and military systems.
"Now we want to use this experience to build technologies that will strengthen Ukraine, help our allies, and ultimately make the world safer," former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said.
Alex Karp, Palantir Technologies Inc.’s chief executive officer, is set to become the first major investor in a defense technology company proposed by Ukraine’s former defense minister as the country continues to battle invading Russian forces.
Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov is launching a defense technology startup with an unusually prominent first backer: Palantir CEO Alex Karp. Karp will become the venture’s first lead investor, according to Fedorov’s press office.
