## About Veteran Ventures Capital

Veteran Ventures Capital (VVC) is a veteran-owned growth equity firm investing in dual-use technology companies led by military veterans.

We focus on early growth, typically Seed through Series A/B, partnering with teams as they transition from initial traction to scalable businesses.

We believe veteran leadership is a competitive advantage. The combination of discipline, mission focus, and operational rigor developed in service translates directly into building durable companies. That belief shapes how we invest and who we partner with.

Our edge comes down to two things: people and access.

Our team sits at the intersection of private capital and national security, with experience spanning senior military leadership, government, and institutional investing. We have supported and advised companies through critical growth stages and understand how to navigate both commercial markets and the complexities of government.

Our deal flow reflects that positioning. Through deep relationships across the defense ecosystem, federal agencies, and veteran-led networks, we see opportunities others simply do not. It is not just volume; it is differentiated access to companies operating in critical, often overlooked corners of the market.

With approximately $100M in assets under management across two funds, including an oversubscribed Fund II, and over $250M in non-dilutive capital secured across our portfolio, we are building a focused portfolio of companies operating at the intersection of commercial scale and national importance.

The opportunity is substantial. For decades, veteran-led companies have built some of the most enduring businesses in the U.S. Today, that same leadership is emerging in a new generation of technology companies, many shaped by experience in national security, logistics, and complex systems.
