Areas of Focus
1. Sector Specialization
We focus exclusively on Aerospace, Defense & Government Services (ADG). This domain expertise allows us to move quickly, underwrite complex scenarios, and provide terms traditional lenders may not — including support for classified work, customer concentration, or dual-use technologies.
2. Flexible, Non-Dilutive Capital
We lead with debt, not equity. Our structures are designed to reduce dilution, preserve control, and align incentives for long-term success. With features like interest-only periods, PIK options, and creative amortization schedules, we build capital stacks that match your strategy — not the other way around.
3. Deep Industry Insight
Our team includes former senior leaders from the U.S. Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and top-tier government contractors. Beyond capital, we bring a powerful network, acquisition sourcing support, and operational insight.
4. Long-Term, Private Funding Base
Backed by $300M in committed family office capital, we’re able to think long-term, act creatively, and invest in non-traditional opportunities. We’re not bound by rigid fund cycles or red tape.
