MILCOM Technologies is a seed-stage venture fund that conceives, creates and launches technology companies in partnership with defense contractors, federal laboratories and other leading-edge research and development sources. In the past nine years, fourteen companies have been launched through the fund, which in turn have attracted over $600M in venture capital from firms such as AMAT, APAX, Bessemer Venture Partners, IBM, Oak Investment Partners, Redpoint Ventures, True Ventures and others. The fund works with Technology Partners (such as BAE, Boeing, ITT, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and others) to create market-dominant companies that develop disruptive products and applications that answer critical market needs. The technology commercialization process provides for: identification of large emerging markets; determination of inherent technology gaps; identification and qualification of proven and protected technologies; assembly of technical and commercial experts to map and execute solutions; creations, launch, growth and funding of a portfolio company; and finally operational execution. MILCOM Technologies is managed by Arsenal Venture Partners (see profile).
