The 4-month acceleration program designed for Ukrainian defence startups to transition from "garage" production to creating a technology company and secure the first investments.

The focus of the acceleration is the development of technologies tailored to the needs of the Defence Forces, allowing them to meet real battlefield requirements. After completing the program, startups gain access to capital and investors.

The accelerator was founded by Ivan Kaunov (CEO), an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Kateryna Bezsudna (COO). 

The Defence Builder Accelerator program was crafted in collaboration with leaders from the tech ecosystem, including Genesis, Sigma Software Labs, and the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE).
