Synchronizing Capital, Innovation and National Security

About Us

Dual Bridge is a specialist consultancy assisting emerging, innovative dual-use technology companies with public sector engagements, positioning them for commercialization and growth.

We facilitate public sector funding and introduce private capital to successful companies.

We provide companies with access to hard-to-penetrate military end-users.

Dual Bridge works with industry partners and SMEs to offer an eco-system of business development and fund-raising services for public/private partnerships.

Our Rationale

We help the Defense Industrial Base to catch up after decades of neglect and industry-wide over-consolidation by incentivizing innovation through competition.

The US military needs to re-learn how to close the Kill Chain faster, more often and more effectively, while breaking it for its adversaries.

We drive the private sector to solve the challenges of the future in the defense industries, by providing their best technical innovations at a best-value cost and price, in military/civil fusion.

We offer the public defense sectors weaponized dual-use technologies that will get decisive equipment in the hands of warfighters, defend the US and its allies, and boost the American economy.
