A differentiating, high-return investment thesis.
We specialize in private investments into veteran-affiliated, dual-use national security technology companies with extraordinary potential for revenue and business acceleration. Our team focuses on investing in businesses with promising technologies, innovative business concepts or models, or existing businesses seeking rapid growth within their sector.
Our value proposition
Superior risk-adjusted returns focused on a historically under-represented community of entrepreneurs: veterans. We possess high-quality, curated deal flow sourced through a unique relationship base of government agencies, academia, and the private sector.
When you join our team as an investor or portfolio company, you are our partner. You become a member of a strategic network of disciplined investment professionals committed to each others’ success and excellence.
We are building a diversified portfolio consisting of the best companies emerging from our ongoing research and analysis of the national security dual-use technology industry.
“We have a 10x ROI mentality with every investment. Our current portfolio firms are on track to exceed industry averages in tandem with increasing multiples in the Defense sector. This coupled with increased growth/scaling of government opportunities bodes extremely well for our investor base.”

Focus Areas of Veteran Ventures | National Security
Aerospace.
The aerospace manufacturing and defense industry comprises the manufacturing of aircraft, space vehicles, engines, and parts, as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul services. VVC has decades of experience in this arena.
Autonomy & Robotics.
C51SR.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.
Material Science.
Quantum Tech.
Autonomy and robotics encompass technologies that enable machines to perform tasks independently or with minimal human intervention, leveraging artificial intelligence, sensors, and advanced computing. As a rapidly growing sector, autonomy and robotics drive innovation, offering significant potential for economic impact and reshaping the future of defense, work, and society.
C5ISR stands for Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance. It refers to an integrated framework of technologies and systems designed to enhance situational awareness, decision-making, and mission effectiveness for military and defense operations. By combining advanced communication networks, data analytics, and sensor systems, C5ISR enables real-time information sharing, coordination, and precision targeting across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving, decision-making, language understanding, and perception. AI encompasses a broad range of techniques and applications, from rule-based systems to advanced deep-learning models.
Materials Science is the interdisciplinary study of the properties, structure, performance, and applications of materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and semiconductors. This field underpins technological advancements in industries like aerospace, energy, electronics, healthcare, and construction, driving innovation in everything from sustainable materials to advanced nanotechnology.
Quantum technology harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics—such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum tunneling—to develop advanced systems with capabilities far beyond classical technologies. It encompasses fields like quantum computing, which promises exponential computational power for tasks like cryptography and molecular simulation, quantum communication, offering ultra-secure data transmission, and quantum sensing, enabling unprecedented precision in measurements for applications in medicine, navigation, and geophysics. As a rapidly evolving domain, quantum technology holds transformative potential across industries, though significant challenges remain in scalability and practical implementation.
