Über diesen Titel

 Tough Tech Vets is a podcast series focused on veteran entrepreneurs solving hard problems at the intersection of hardware and software. Hosted by Chris Ricks, a former Naval Submarine Officer and Founder of Starcube, a small modular reactor company that’s focused on building microreactors for critical infrastructure. While there’s a lot of education around traditional startups for veterans, the Touch Tech landscape is a lot less clear.
