Notable Investments
Paladin Capital Group was founded as an "investment community response to 9/11" by former heads of the NSA, CIA, and DARPA to back dual-use technologies that improve both national and commercial security. The firm operates with an explicit ethical framework through published "Investment Principles & Commitments" to back technologies that "enhance the defense, national security, and foreign policy interests of free and open societies" while maintaining a dedicated in-house think tank led by former senior U.S. cyber officials and an investment team heavily populated with ex-senior national security and intelligence leaders.
