Investment Thesis

Lockheed Martin Ventures makes strategic, mission-aligned investments in companies developing cutting-edge technologies that strengthen Lockheed Martin’s core businesses and open new markets. The firm operates an evergreen $400M fund (since 2007) and positions itself as more than a capital provider by offering portfolio companies access to Lockheed Martin engineering talent, state-of-the-art technologies, research, and the company’s international business relationships and supply chain. The investment approach emphasizes accelerating 21st Century technologies (including working with companies outside the traditional defense industrial base), building resilient, networked systems, and fostering sovereign/industrial capability through partnerships and workforce development.
