02 / Who we serve

Two segments.

We serve companies where the relationship channel matters and the bench composition can't be replicated by a strategy-consulting alumni pipeline.

Segment A

Defense tech

Emerging companies from pre-seed through well-resourced — including foreign entrants navigating the U.S. market.

Segment B

Mid-market defense services

Mature firms whose historical informal government-side support is retiring. Our bench is exactly who used to provide it.

03 / Contact

Let's talk.

If you're a defense tech company that needs to get into the building — or a mid-market services firm watching your informal government support retire — we should have a conversation.
