After-Action Reports
These are a few accounts of our successes.
Dual-Use Tech Founders
Real wins, real lessons, real traction.
Maritime Autonomy Firm
In just nine months, we supported a maritime autonomy company in securing "Program of Record" status and tens of millions in "Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies (APFIT)" funding. We led the development of their transition roadmap, aligned key stakeholders across service branches and combatant commands, and positioned the platform for scaled production and long-term integration into operational plans.
Hypersonic Missile Target Prototype
We helped a small maritime technology firm secure a position on a high-value "Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity" (IDIQ) contract, enabling tens of millions in potential awards for consulting services and prototype development.
Commercial Shipbuilder
We advised a commercial shipping firm on the rapid retrofit of a derelict vessel for autonomous weapons integration. In under four months, we secured funding, led modifications, and enabled the first-of-its-kind remote weapons launch from a commercial platform.
National Security Venture Capital
Lessons that sharpen your next investment.
Graduate Venture Capital Program
We supported a top-tier MBA venture fellow in preparing and delivering strategic insights to a national security venture capital forum. We provided coaching, stakeholder analysis, and narrative development that elevated his contribution and earned him a leadership award from the program.
Maritime Tech Due Diligence
We engaged with analysts from a national security venture firm to deliver an in-depth assessment of the maritime autonomy sector. We produced a tailored due diligence brief that provided critical market insight and informed portfolio strategy.
Embedded with Capital
We provided on-site fractional support to a newly established venture capital office in Washington, D.C., serving as a liaison between investors and national security stakeholders. We enabled real-time insight into portfolio performance, facilitated key introductions, and advised on dual-use go-to-market strategy.
DoD Program Offices / Units
Proven talent producing mission impact.
Rapid Maritime Prototype Innovator
We placed a technical program lead who directed R&D investments into next-gen command and control systems. In under one year, he scaled a maritime prototype that cut projected costs by $21M, drove a 12x capacity increase, and led a $52M validation effort aligned with enterprise and executive growth priorities.
Commercial Licensing Program Creator
We placed a maritime subject matter expert who developed a training pipeline and IDIQ contract for Special Operations. This expert delivered a multi-million dollar solution providing Coast Guard-aligned certifications to operators, bridging military readiness with commercial maritime standards.
Emerging Technologies Portfolio Manager
We placed a senior strategist to lead an undersea innovation incubator. In six months, he built a full-scope program advancing dual-use autonomy, sensing, and subsea infrastructure. His efforts led to the deployment of $7.5M in RDT&E funding and aligned efforts across DoD, the Intelligence Community, and industry.
