About Brian MacCarthy

Brian MacCarthy leads both Booz Allen Ventures and Booz Allen's Tech Scouting and Foreign Tech Intelligence team, having founded the venture fund in 2022 and grown it from $100 million to $300 million after previously building the Helix Center for Innovation and running the largest hackathon series inside the Department of War. He focuses on turning pilots into real, scaled use rather than just funding new ideas, believes defense-focused venture firms need people with actual military experience on their teams, and often points to low-cost edge drones and maritime autonomy as examples of the kind of capability that matters most.

Rounds
Avg Check Size

Booz Allen Ventures pairs its investment capital with Booz Allen's own technologists, manufacturing capacity, federal contracting help, and compliance support to help startups reach government customers faster, usually joining funding rounds led by other investors rather than leading them itself, and it focuses on U.S.-based companies while also allowing investment across Five Eyes nations, with reindustrialization—like U.S.-based drone manufacturing—as a specific part of its investment focus. The fund grew out of Booz Allen's internal tech-scouting work, and its managing partner previously built Booz Allen's innovation center and ran Department of the Navy hackathons, giving the fund a background centered on government mission delivery rather than traditional venture finance.
