America is Building again

American Dynamism is a belief, a practice, and a mission: to invest in companies that support the national interest.

Not long ago, the clock was ticking down fast on American industrial and military sovereignty. Our factories were closing, COVID exposed supply chain fragility, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine reminded a generation that history did not end with the 21st century. Strategic competition with China intensified across AI, semiconductors, rare earth minerals, shipbuilding, and space.

But those moments have a way of clarifying priorities. Since then, a wave of patriotism and technological optimism has spread through our tech sector, and fruits of the American Dynamism movement are everywhere. Patriotic engineers have heeded the call to build for the country. Technological breakthroughs like AI and power electronics keep expanding the horizon of possibility; American champions like SpaceX and Anduril take months to build what once took decades. There’s never been a better or more consequential time to build for America.

Economic strength and national security are inseparable. Technology is sovereignty: it determines who sets standards, controls supply chains, and secures prosperity. American Dynamism is a call to fund this work, because the American way of life depends on it.

Who We Invest In

The American Dynamism practice invests in founders and companies that support the national interest. We meet with mission-driven, civic-minded teams building companies that transcend traditional verticals and business models, in their quest to solve pressing problems in aerospace, defense, public safety, education, housing, supply chain, industrials, and manufacturing. These companies view the government as a customer, competitor, or key stakeholder—and the success of these companies supports the flourishing of all Americans, across 50 states and around the world.
