Shield Capital

Shield Capital is a venture capital firm investing in early-stage companies building technologies that matter in artificial intelligence, autonomy, cybersecurity, and space. SHIELD’s veteran team of founders, investors, and national security leaders is mission-focused in support of entrepreneurs addressing the convergence of commercial technology and national security. SHIELD’s founding purpose stems from the insight that the most transformative technologies being developed commercially—AI, autonomy, cyber, and space—will increasingly impact the Mission of U.S. national security. These four technology domains are critical to the U.S. military, but also in securing our citizens and those companies vital to the resilience of our nation’s critical infrastructure—in utilities, financial services, chemical production, nuclear facilities, and telecommunications. Many of the SHIELD team have been warfighters in and out of uniform. We know first-hand the military’s frustrations working with outdated technologies that lag far behind those available to civilian consumers. SHIELD’s team is Mission-driven to deliver the latest and best technology to the men and women in our military and intelligence community—because their Mission Matters to us all.
