Launching Defence.Works: Connecting top-tier independent R&D defence consultants to misssion-critical projects

What we are building

At Defence.Works, we are creating a one-stop managed service to connect top independent defense consultants with mission-critical projects.

We take care of everything—matching, security clearances, and payments—so consultants can focus on delivering exceptional results.

Our solutions are highly flexible, catering to commitments ranging from just a few hours per week to full-time roles, and even assembling entire teams for complex projects.

The background

As NATO increases defence spending from 1-2% of GDP to 2-3%, an additional €500 billion will flow into the industry.

There has never been a better time to be a defence technology expert. With hundreds of thousands of new jobs on the horizon, the demand for the most highly qualified professionals will be unprecedented.

Now is the perfect moment to build the world’s most efficient matching service—to accelerate project delivery, help consultants find high-impact opportunities, and open pathways for new talent with adjacent expertise to join this critical sector.

Where we come from

We are the founders of Hashlist.com, the leading marketplace for independent contractors in the automotive industry.

The automotive sector is one of the most demanding to work in, requiring extensive vetting and rigorous security certifications.

We are now expanding into defence, aiming to make a lasting impact in one of the most significant industries of this decade.
