Acquire a combat-proven Ukrainian defense company
You bring the acquisition mandate — a capability, a product line, a controlling stake. We source targets from inside the market, prepare them for a clean deal, and structure the hard part: a foreign acquisition of a sensitive defense asset. Buy-side M&A, run end to end by the operator on the ground.
A capability you can own, before it's contested
The companies that proved themselves in a peer war are still private, still cheap, and not yet on anyone's radar. That window is the opportunity.
Proven, not promised
These companies iterated under fire — products fielded at scale, not roadmapped. You acquire capability that already works.
Barely capitalized
A $35B industry took ~$129M of venture in 2025. Valuations reflect a market the world hasn't priced in yet.
First mover owns the shelf
The best targets are acquired quietly, off-market. Once a public process starts, the control premium is gone.
Mandate to close, on the ground
There is no shelf of companies to forward. A target is built against your mandate — from a call to a signed deal.
Tell us your mandate
Capability, segment, control level, check size and structure — on a call, under NDA.
We source inside the market
Off-market targets from clusters, Brave1 and founders we already know — matched to your mandate before any public process.
We prepare the target
Cap table, IP, export path and diligence readiness, built with our legal and finance partners — so what reaches you is deal-ready.
Structure, diligence & close
The acquisition structured for a foreign buyer of a defense asset, with the support to take it to signing and close.
Structuring a foreign acquisition of a defense asset
Owning a Ukrainian defense company is not a standard M&A. The value is in getting the structure right — and that's what we do.
Control, cleanly held
A controlling stake or a full buyout, held in a structure a foreign owner can legally own, govern and exit — under Diia.City and the Defence City regime.
Security & export cleared
National-security review, export controls and dual-use mapping handled up front, so the deal survives diligence and the asset stays operable.
Every acquisition is scoped to your control level, your compliance regime and the target's security classification.
The capability is for sale now. The control premium isn't.
As the market matures and exports scale, valuations re-rate and strategics move in. The clean, off-market entry point is a window, not a standing offer.
Buyers taking control, not a position
Acquirers who want to own the capability — the IP, the production, the team — not just a line on a cap table.
Strategics & primes
Defense corporates and primes acquiring a capability, a product line or a team to own vertically — a bolt-on to the group.
Buyout & control funds
PE and control-oriented capital taking majority stakes in combat-proven companies with room to scale.
Corporate development
Family offices and industrial groups building a defense platform through control acquisitions and roll-ups.
A clean asset and a closed deal
Not a lead list — a prepared target, a structure that holds, and the support to sign.
A mandate-matched target
Sourced off-market and screened against your thesis, opened to you under NDA before it surfaces publicly.
A deal-ready company
Cap table, IP and export path cleaned up, with a data room built for a foreign buyer's diligence.
A structure that holds
Ownership, governance and exit structured for a foreign owner of a defense asset — through to signing.
Under NDA, from the first name
Acquisitions move on discretion. No target is named, no mandate is shared, and no company is approached outside an NDA. What you're looking at, and who knows, stays controlled.
Bring us your acquisition mandate
Tell us the capability, the control level and the structure you're after. We'll come back with a scoped approach under NDA.
The capability is proven, private and open to foreign ownership. Acquire it before the market prices it in.
