Lavrock Ventures

Lavrock Ventures is a Washington, DC–based seed and early-stage venture firm that approaches investing primarily from the perspective of the national security ecosystem, with deep roots in the intelligence community. The firm identifies and backs companies shaped by real-world demand signals—not hype cycles—grounding each investment in procurement patterns and mission needs. Investments span frontier domains including advanced manufacturing, space, quantum technologies, kinetic systems, cybersecurity, and enterprise software. Lavrock's network, built over decades across government and industry, paired with a DC footprint and active clearances, provides an information advantage that allows the firm to move faster, earlier, and with conviction on dual-use technologies that serve both commercial and national security missions.
