In this episode, we chat with Steve Baxter—Army veteran, serial tech entrepreneur, and investor behind Beaten Zone Venture Partners, a fund focused on backing early-stage Australian sovereign Defence tech.

Steve unpacks the upcoming Beaten Zone TAK-HACK happening in Brisbane this August, what it’s all about, who it’s for, and why it’s more than just a Defence tech pitch fest. We talk veteran innovation, defence capability, and the collision of military discipline and entrepreneurial energy.

💡 Whether you're a veteran, founder, or technologist—this is your call to lean in, show up, and help shape the future of Australia's sovereign defence ecosystem.
