In this episode of The Techne Connect, Nathan Mintz, CEO and Co-Founder of CX2, talks about his journey from Boeing and Raytheon to building three deep-tech companies in aerospace and defence.

Nathan shares the early influences that shaped his entrepreneurial mindset, how he moved from initial concepts to launching each venture, and the lessons he learned from building hardware-driven businesses in competitive and fast-moving markets. He highlights why timing, market forces, and the right team matter more than the first idea.

He explains CX2’s mission to build next-generation electronic warfare systems, the move from large legacy platforms to distributed autonomous technologies, and why the spectrum has become a critical domain in modern conflict. Nathan also gives his view on the changing defence landscape, the rise of European defence tech, and the growing demand for skills in embedded software, autonomy, and RF engineering.
