About

Ridgecrest Defense provides early-stage capital to the most promising defence tech companies in Europe and Nato. The firm invests at stages where teams require conviction and strategic support to scale mission-critical technologies. Through a partnership with the European Defense Tech Hub, it accesses emerging founders before generalist investors. Support extends beyond capital by facilitating pathways to procurement and military-adjacent networks for its portfolio companies.
