Series B onward — discipline over lottery tickets

Nomi Capital is an institutional latecomer by design. We back growth- and late-stage American defense and dual-use technology companies at their inflection point — the moment they move from the R&D phase to real revenue generation.

Where Nomi Invests

“We don't do early stage, we don't do pre-product, we don't do pre-revenue. Series B onward.

How We Invest

A disciplined way into the best defense cap tables

Growth & late stage

We target companies at their inflection point — going from the R&D phase to real revenue generation, not pre-product bets.

Primary + tactical secondaries

We combine primary investments with tactical secondary positions in proven late-stage companies — how a focused fund reaches Anduril- and Groq-tier cap tables.

A nimble LP base

Backed by roughly 150 high-net-worth investors, family offices, and RIAs who move fast on co-investments and hold for the long term — no investment-committee drag. That LP base is a feature, not a bug.

Areas of Focus

Five domains, one mission

01

Autonomy & Unmanned Systems

Aircraft, surface vessels, and ground systems that operate themselves.

02

Artificial Intelligence & Communications

The compute, inference, and connectivity layer of national security.

03

Manufacturing & Supply Chain

Rebuilding the industrial base with commercial speed.

04

Space Technology

Mobility, logistics, and infrastructure in orbit.

05

Energy & Power

Advanced fuel and resilient power for defense and industry.

A generational rearmament is underway, and a new class of defense companies is emerging to rebuild our industrial base with commercial speed and cutting-edge technology. Nomi Defense Fund I is built to back the companies at the center of that transformation.

Industrial-Base Realism
The unsexy things are the mission.

We are not a hype-tech fund. The companies we back scale the parts of the defense industrial base that actually matter — from autonomy and directed energy to the unsexy things like 155mm artillery and Hydra-70 rockets.

That seriousness is what separates Nomi from the crowd chasing early-stage lottery tickets. We invest where proven technology meets real production, real revenue, and real national need.
