Investment Thesis

Fulcrum invests in an emerging institutional asset class combining security, sovereignty, and resilience. They employ disciplined growth equity strategies anchored in policy and procurement visibility rather than momentum-driven capital, backing proven technologies with structural demand, clear government support, and visible procurement pathways across defence, space, and critical infrastructure sectors.

What Sets Them Apart

Proven track record with ~4x cash-on-cash returns from prior defence and dual-use exits
Exclusive focus on defence, space, and critical infrastructure—not generalist approach
Deep policy expertise and decision-maker access through team including former senior ministers, national security advisors, and operators
Specialized regulatory and procurement navigation (ITAR, CFIUS, FOCI, European FDI regimes)
Transatlantic bridging strategy supporting European companies accessing North American markets while remaining anchored at home
Embedded in defence, security, and industrial ecosystems with direct networks to governments, primes, integrators, and strategic partners
