If any brands want to work with me to save Women's @CounterStrike, my DMs are open. I founded @RaidiantGG and we operate publisher-supported women's events in VALORANT, Rocket League, Fortnite, Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege.

Let's figure out how to save CS2.

Honestly been down and not focused recently, but I think today brought me back.

Had a meeting with a Senior-level Program Manager at @peocscss and 15 years at @DEVCOM_SC, validated my solution and gave me a major confidence boost with product feasibility with the US Military.

The Catch Up: How will Stukes Defense become successful??

There are a lot of ways, but our foundational product is.. Shoot-By-Wire (SBW), a modular-intelligent wearable that solves various issues with modern firearm platforms.

4/5

The biggest thing I’ve learned is “solving mission problems”, find one problem and solve it, and that’s your company’s wedge. Now SBW is way more than that, however I’ve been able to narrow down to a few key issues that SBW can solve. This is the case with the DoD at least..

[Patrick “darkSTU” Stukes Jr @darkSTU_]

Oh yeah, brand design by @claritydzns (Definitely vouch for him, decent turnaround time)
