Building something from nothing is messy, human, and worth talking about bluntly.
UNfiltered brings real conversations about what it truly takes to build a company: the money, the pressure, the ego, the bad calls, and what investors actually think but rarely say.
Every episode, a Breega investor and a founder confront each other's perspectives, because the best insights come from unfiltered conversations.

Why is right now the right moment for in-space manufacturing? What actually made Breega back something this ambitious? What makes a pitch instantly forgettable? Does the ecosystem reward charisma over competence? And what's the one investment every founder should make in themselves?
