We invest in and support companies that are fortifying the U.S. Defense Industrial Base.
THE INTEGRATED MODEL
CD Strategies pairs capital, advisory, and government affairs: Investing in the companies building the technology, advising them on reaching the customer, and helping line up the government support behind the mission.
THE NETWORK
What sets us apart is the network behind that work. CD Strategies collaborates closely with the Creative Defense Foundation (CDF), which convenes leaders from the Department of War, Congress, the innovation community, and capital providers. CDF and its broader ecosystem, such as the Other Transaction (OT) Consortium for plug-and-play warfighting that CDF manages, provides our partners with unique opportunities to engage with key stakeholders. Operating in close partnership with the Creative Defense Ecosystem provides our partners with a rare vantage point on where national security is heading.
