Welcome to our video series, The Future of Defence: Expert Perspectives, which explores the critical role of innovation in defence technology. The series brings together leading voices from across the defence sector to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping its future.
In Episode Four, we speak with Nicholas Nelson, General Partner at Archangel. Nicholas founded Europe’s first defence-focused VC syndicate and has held senior roles across early-stage venture capital, strategy consulting and government, including deploying to Afghanistan.
Archangel is Europe’s next-generation defence investment platform and the world’s only next-generation defence tech fund focused exclusively on defence-first and defence-only start-ups. With a €50 million early-stage fund, Archangel offers investors and founders a distinctive combination of frontline defence expertise and a decades-long investment track record.
In this episode, Nicholas shares his perspective on defence investment, emerging technologies and the opportunities shaping the future of the sector.
