Why this work matters now.
The world is more dangerous
Threats are emerging across multiple theaters and domains, and they are evolving faster than legacy systems can adapt.
The cost equation has shifted
Meeting low-cost, mass-produced threats with expensive legacy platforms is not sustainable. The economics now favor new approaches.
Startups help close the gap
Focused investment in mission-relevant companies puts better capability in the hands of the warfighter, faster.
A focused, local approach.
Embedded in the Pacific Northwest
Close access to the region's most promising defense startups — and a genuine commitment to building the community around them.
We back founders we can genuinely help
High trust, low ego, no theater. We invest where our experience and network move the needle for the company.
Deep defense experience
Hands-on experience in defense-tech incubation and go-to-market across U.S., NATO, and allied customers — we know the terrain and the pitfalls to avoid.
A network tuned to the mission
Built to navigate defense procurement across the U.S., NATO, and allied partners — the relationships that take careers to build.
Two markets, one thesis.
Defense procurement cycles can be long and non-linear. We prioritize technology with a credible second market — adjacent commercial or law-enforcement applications — so our companies can build revenue, validate product, and compound lessons learned while government contracts mature.
Let's build something that matters.
