Fulcrum is a venture capital fund that provides private capital for the free world's critical industries, aiming to rebuild America's industrial base through investments in manufacturing, supply chains, and the data systems that determine whether new technologies perform in the field. Founded by a former Marine and Evercore banker and advised by former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, the fund backs a wide range of national security companies—from munitions and manufacturing software to maritime autonomy, space infrastructure, law enforcement intelligence, and mission-specific AI companies like Smack Technologies and Code Metal.
