Founder of an early-stage defence tech startup

“It was useful to learn about the basics of communication strategy in general, as I have never had this experience before. It was also helpful to learn about investors and how to present information”.

Active-duty military representative

“Since I am far from PR and marketing, almost everything was new to me :). Currently, I am serving in the defence forces (and a civilian IT specialist), so I am grateful for the organization of the bootcamp – it was a significant and comprehensive expansion of my knowledge.”

Communications Manager in the defence tech sector

“The course was excellent for refreshing my memory and structuring my knowledge. The most useful parts were the media lists, communication with investors, and the lecture on Technical Writing.”

Operations Lead in a defence company

“This bootcamp is an important project for strengthening us in many aspects. Thank you for the work, and I will attend future events in this area.”

Project Manager of the defence tech startup

“Everything was on point and met expectations. The speakers were excellent, and it was interesting to listen to them. The organization and communication about the event were among the best I’ve seen. Thank you!”
