About Hasta
About Hasta
Hasta was founded from frustration to support Europe’s next generation of defense and security builders. We are embedded in the defence ecosystems across Germany, Central & Eastern Europe and Ukraine - regions where technologies are tested under real operational pressure, not lab conditions. We believe strategic capability is built early by small teams making hard technical choices long before scale or attention arrives.
We exist to back those teams with capital, access and long-term support. Currently fundraising. First close expected in Summer 2026.
Together with European Defence Tech Hub, we organize a hackathon in April.
