Overview

An early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2022 that specializes in investing in Australian sovereign defense technologies. The firm focuses on five warfighting domains: Sea, Land, Air, Space, and Cyber, with core pillars of Lethality, Survivability, and Defendability. It aims to bridge the gap between private capital and defense innovation, backing entrepreneurs with military-relevant applications. The firm has described itself as an "anti-ESG arbitrage fund" due to its focus on lethal technologies, which are often avoided by traditional ESG investors.
