Backswing Ventures

Backswing Ventures is an early-stage venture fund investing in dual-use and defense technology companies across the U.S. and Israel. We are currently investing out of Fund II, focusing on companies that are profitable or expected to be within twelve months. With diverse backgrounds and networks, we identify opportunities where investment can accelerate growth and unlock potential. Stay tuned for the upcoming launch of Fund III! In golf, the backswing is the sequence that brings the club to its apex before impact—the most critical phase of a well-executed stroke. It’s where balance is established, direction is set, and outcomes are shaped long before contact is made. We believe investing works the same way. At Backswing Ventures, our work happens before the moment everyone else sees. We focus on preparation, fundamentals, and positioning—so when it’s time to execute, companies are built to perform. Backswing Ventures was built with a clear mandate: invest selectively, operate with discipline, and remain focused on outcomes. In defense and national security, there is little margin for error. Execution matters. Reliability matters. And long-term relevance matters most.
