Ukrainian venture fund WildField Ventures has invested about $750,000 in two DefTech startups at the pre-seed and seed stages. The fund's partner, Maksym Zubenko, said this in an interview with AIN.
The fund is not yet disclosing the names of the startups. One company received approximately $250,000, the other about $500,000. WildField Ventures plans to publicly announce these investments by the end of 2026.
In early 2027, the fund plans to begin active negotiations with three to five more startups, says Zubenko.
