Investing in founders and companies that support the national interest

Our Investment Thesis

The American Dynamism practice invests in founders and companies that support the national interest, including but not limited to aerospace, defense, public safety, education, housing, supply chain, industrials and manufacturing. We believe that mission-driven and civic-minded founders often build companies that transcend verticals and business models in their quest to solve important national problems. These companies view government as a customer, competitor or key stakeholder—and the success of these companies supports the flourishing of all Americans. Dynamic companies exist in all 50 states, as there is no center of gravity for solving America’s biggest problems.
