About us
We’re founders and startup junkies
Great startups come from great roots.
At DUV, we are defined by respect for founders and their building process. From former founders of successful technology companies to corporate executives who actively served in the US Armed Forces, we are led by partners who know what it’s like to be in the founder’s shoes.
Our team consists of results-oriented professionals with extensive experience in disruptive technologies that have both a general consumer and government application. We are able to identify daring founders with a desire to create disruptive products that can bring about innovative solutions to national security and defense base.
We take a venture design approach to helping startups understand dual use strategy and creating a scalable commercial technology. Leveraging our deep network of government customers and corporate partners we help founders overcome early risk on their way to building commercially successful ventures.We encourage our talented entrepreneurs to take risks and extend their visions beyond the usual boundary.
In order to attract new entrants to the ecosystem, we democratize the information necessary for those who want to contribute to our national security but can’t find the front door.
We are on the front lines of creating an equitable society with access to capital and innovation for all.
What We Do
Investing in great founders at the earliest stages of venture creation.
No warm intro or revenue required. We believe venture should be accessible and transparent to all entrepreneurs. DUV is category agnostic and invest into nearly all types of startups, innovations, and technologies.
