5Side Strategy: Where Defense-Tech and Dual-Use Founders Find Their Unfair Advantage

We help defense and dual-use founders turn the Pentagon from a black box into a customer — and raise the capital that gets them there.

Strategy, capital, and federal access from a team that's built the company, selected the proposal that receives millions in government funding, commanded the mission, and written the check. We work with founders at the inflection points that matter: the first federal contract, the SBIR or OTA transition, the round that has to close, the board conversation that has to land.
