Investing in National Security to Strengthen the Arsenal of Democracy As we face increasingly complex global threats, it's clear that private capital must play a critical role in bolstering national security and reinvigorating the industrial base. I am excited to share our latest white paper, "The Growing Role of Family Office Capital in National Security", which I authored to help inform Marc Sharpe and his membership at The Family Office Association ahead of their recent annual symposium where I was honored to moderate a National Security themed panel alongside sector luminaries Sha-Chelle Devlin Manning, JR Gibbens and David Rader. At Anzu Partners, we are committed to investing in breakthrough technologies that will enhance our national security, ensuring the U.S. remains at the forefront of innovation. This work aligns with the national mission of building a robust industrial base, supporting early-stage and lower-middle-market enterprises to deliver resilience across the 14 areas of critical technology and their associated supply chains. This is a pivotal moment for family offices and private investors to step up. With over $4.5 trillion in private capital available in the U.S., there is a significant opportunity to bridge the funding gap and support the next wave of industrial innovation. Interested in learning more? I invite fellow investors and family offices looking to explore this critical sector to reach out to me directly. Let’s work together to strengthen the Arsenal of Democracy and ensure our collective security and prosperity for generations to come. #NationalSecurity #PrivateCapital #DefenseInnovation #FamilyOffices #DualUseTechnologies #InvestingInAmerica #AnzuPartners
