Built by operators, for defense industry companies.
An operating platform that strengthens the defense industrial base from the inside.
Strengthening the Base from the Inside
US Defense Group exists to strengthen the defense industrial base from the inside. We partner with defense and dual-use technology companies at critical growth stages, providing the strategic advisory, operational support, and sector expertise needed to scale in one of the most complex markets in the world.
The defense sector is not like other markets. Success requires navigating federal acquisition regulations, maintaining rigorous cybersecurity compliance, building relationships across military branches and agencies, and competing against some of the largest companies on earth. Small and mid-size contractors often have superior technology and deeper mission expertise than their larger competitors, but they lack the infrastructure and connections to compete at scale. That is the problem US Defense Group was built to solve.
Built by Operators, Not Observers
Our team brings collective experience spanning military service, defense acquisition, technology entrepreneurship, government contracting, and company building. We have built and scaled technology companies from startup to national deployment. We have served as test pilots, systems engineers, and acquisition professionals within the Department of Defense.
We are not consultants offering advice from the outside. We are operators who have built businesses in this sector. US Defense Group, LLC is an Ohio limited liability company headquartered in the greater Cleveland area, with operational reach across the Ohio defense corridor and the Florida I-4 corridor.
