What is Tough Tech Vets?

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. Whether you’re currently building a tough tech product or considering building one, this podcast is for you.
