How do you define veteran-owned/led businesses?

The answer is "broadly." We work with entrepreneurs who have served and undergone military leadership development, educational/technical training, and intense, character-building scenarios to have an "adapt and overcome mentality.” These are the characteristics that help drive businesses with incredible tenacity and great exits.

That means being on a Board is not enough. Our veteran entrepreneurs/leadership direct both strategic and tactical decisions. They are typically owners in some capacity.

What stage business do you invest in and what is the typical investment size?

We invest in the most promising veteran-affiliated, post-revenue (Seed/Series A), dual-use technology companies — mainly focused (but not exclusive) on National Security/Defense Sectors. Investment size varies, but we average $1M in the first round and reserve capital for follow-on rounds.
