Early-stage venture capital

FirstWatch Partners.

FirstWatch Partners is an early-stage venture fund for defense technology that solves critical national security needs and has a viable commercial market.

We help entrepreneurs across the United States, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.

We invest early, often before the first government contract. We hold material follow-on reserves and stay engaged through the long arc of building.

Further information about the firm and our funds is shared directly with prospective Limited Partners and Founders.
