Accretive Ventures, a Virginia-based venture capital firm, is launching a $5 million fund specifically targeting post-MVP dual-use startups at the intersection of artificial intelligence, defense, and national security.
Our team brings significant institutional experience, having managed assets totaling up to $1 billion, and boasts a successful track record of helping over 50 technology companies secure more than 45,000 customers. This positions us to assist founders from day one, not only in product development and navigating government contracting, but also in revenue generation, customer acquisition, and strategic market positioning.
We focus on impactful technologies—such as AI-driven intelligence systems, autonomous platforms, cyber defense solutions, data infrastructure, and next-generation security software—where dual-use capabilities provide a distinct advantage rather than a limitation.
Our mission is clear: to support outstanding technical founders by equipping them with the capital, distribution channels, and strategic guidance essential for building sustainable companies that address both national security challenges and broader economic needs.
We believe trust is a strategic asset. Our relationships with founders and limited partners are built on clear communication, rigorous reporting, and aligned incentives. From investment decisions to follow‑on strategy, we operate with institutional discipline and full transparency — because credibility compounds faster than capital.
We invest where technical depth meets real‑world deployment. Our focus is on post‑MVP companies applying artificial intelligence to defense, security, and critical infrastructure challenges — while simultaneously unlocking scalable commercial markets. This dual‑use approach de‑risks growth, accelerates revenue, and creates resilient businesses.
Our portfolio companies do more than create financial returns. They strengthen national security, protect critical systems, and improve global stability — while building commercially viable technology companies. We aim to deliver outcomes that are strategically meaningful, economically durable, and socially consequential.
Let’s build a safer world together.
