AMAZING STARUPS WE HAVE HELPED

"17Tech has delivered early-stage funding, complemented by deep defence domain knowledge and a comprehensive pathway to real-world testing and validation."

"17Tech has helped Valkyrie Dynamics not only with defence positioning, but especially with the business side of building a scalable startup. Their team has provided hands-on support in sharpening our go-to-market thinking, investor readiness, business model, and overall company-building process. The combination of defence domain insight and practical startup-building experience has helped us move faster, focus on what matters, and build the company in a more structured and credible way."

"Ravenest is a high potential new SME startup poised to make a mark in the unmanned aviation sector. Backed by 17Tech, Ravenest has rapidly gained visibility in its key customer segments. 17Tech has provided strategic early stage funding, along with deep market intelligence on the unmanned aviation ecosystem and end user requirements — giving Ravenest a strong launchpad for accelerated growth and scalable innovation."

"17Tech has been a game changer for us. They opened doors to top-tier defence actors and investors, gave us direct, no-nonsense feedback, and pushed us to move faster and think bigger. The program has significantly increased our speed, credibility, and ability to execute."

"17Tech gave us direct access to defence operators, real deployment environments, and a network that accelerates validation beyond what most early-stage startups can reach. The program is execution-focused, not theoretical, which aligns with how we build. It materially helped us move faster toward real-world testing and partnerships."

"True passion and knowledge of how Finland can stay in touch with and nurture hands-on experience of Europe-wide ground breaking defence technologies. Direct operational demand signal feedback via Ukraine's Defence Builder plus 17Tech mentors with direct frontline knowledge. Sharp and focussed cohesive training and advice to accelerator cohort members along with an emphasis of working and learning from Ukrainian armed forces."

"17Tech helped us sharpen our C-UAS strategy, accelerate product development, and connect with the right ecosystem. Their mentorship improved our positioning, while their network enabled validation in Ukraine. Beyond that, they also provided access to defense and dual-use industry experts, visibility among potential partners and customers, and feedback loops from operational environments."

"17Tech helped us significantly improve how we present our project, with greater clarity, structure, and impact. Furthermore, they are helping us secure access to a testing range in Finland, enabling testing opportunities that are otherwise unavailable in Europe, while also providing testing possibilities in Ukraine."

"17Tech has helped us more than I could have expected. Now this becomes true."

"New approach to everything. Contacts and knowledge. Tight collaboration that will continue with 17Tech, but also brilliant other startups to collaborate with."
