Smart Capital
Governments in the EU and the USA are investing billions in national security, including non-dilutive R&D grants, to support the development of critical technology with applications in defence, infrastructure, energy, space, automation and communications.
Using our network of privileged relationships across Governments and industry, we actively assist our portfolio companies to access this capital – validating their technology, increasing their financial robustness and reducing investment risk.
Mentoring & Development
We have founded, built and sold large, worldwide defence technology businesses, so we have deep operational expertise and extensive relationship networks.
Now, when we invest, we support our portfolio leaders through business growth and change, helping them expand their enterprises across multiple sectors and towards their goal of an exit through M&A or an IPO.
Strategic Alignment
We are investors, entrepreneurs and operators, and have committed significant capital of our own. So we bring deep conviction as well as expertise.
We work with visionary leaders and partners who share our values and wish to work with us over the long term to help realise significant returns.
Investment Team

We use our deep domain expertise to back more winners. We also deploy significant amounts of our own capital, so are absolutely focussed on investment performance.
