SightLine Capital is a mission-driven venture firm investing in dual-use technologies that give warfighters an unfair advantage. The firm backs founders building disruptive tech and exceptional teams, focusing on innovators ready to scale in both defense and commercial markets — investing in early-stage startups developing frontier capabilities in AI and machine learning, autonomy, energy, space, cyber, biotech, and advanced computing. SightLine Capital works alongside its partner firm, SightLine Ventures, which specializes in securing non-dilutive funding through Department of Defense programs such as SBIR, STTR, and Phase III transition pathways. Together, they provide full-spectrum support spanning federal contract acquisition to venture capital investment, investing both directly and as a limited partner in founders, venture funds, and private equity firms aligned with national security priorities. With over $40 million in non-dilutive funding secured and nine Phase III transitions achieved, the firm brings deep operator expertise to every engagement.

“The floodgate of opportunity has never been better! I'm glad to see the SBIR/STTR program come back online. It's the right call for industry, the warfighter, and national security.”
