What it is
Frontline Cafe brings together defense-tech founders and engineers, the soldiers and units who field their kit, and the allies who back them — over food, drinks, and honest conversation. The room where better tools and lasting alliances actually start.
For the safety of everyone who comes, gatherings are held in trusted spaces in Kyiv and kept private.
The evening
Our signature round-robin. Everyone gets 60 seconds to share what they're building and what they need — just enough to spark the connection that matters. And yes, we time it.
Where a 60-second ask becomes a partnership — the corner for the deeper conversations that don't fit in a minute.
Each night has one guest worth the room's attention — someone building or fighting at the edge of this war. No panel, no slides. Just the story.
Music & inspiration — the songs that fuel Ukraine's defenders and remind everyone what the work is for.
Food that carries meaning — every gathering supports the mission, on and off the plate.
Work from Ukrainian artists made in wartime — on the wall, and supporting the cause it speaks to.
Your support keeps this community — and the Foundation behind it — meeting, connecting, and acting for Ukraine.
