Sica Ventures

Investment decisions are made by the two founders: Dominick Sica, Managing Partner, and Vincent Sica, General Partner and Principal. Vincent Sica's background includes serving as VP and GM at Lockheed Martin Space. Frank V. Sica, a former Soros Fund Management executive and partner at Tailwind Capital, co-invests in several Sica Ventures portfolio companies but is not listed as a managing principal of the firm.

Sica Ventures focuses on early-stage companies, specifically seed and startup rounds. The firm describes itself as an early-stage investment company and does not indicate participation in later-stage growth equity or buyout transactions.

The firm's website names three focus sectors: space/rockets, aerospace/aeronautics, and defense/national security. This narrow thesis reflects Vincent Sica's operational background at Lockheed Martin and the firm's DC-area presence.

Yes. The SICA Foundation operates as a separate philanthropic entity. The firm's principals — Vincent Sica in particular — also engage in institutional philanthropy, including a leadership donor role at The Catholic University of America where he serves on the Board of Trustees.

Sica Ventures draws on multiple sourcing channels tied to its principals' networks. Vincent Sica participates in the Connectpreneur community and sits on the Board of Trustees at The Catholic University of America, while Dominick Sica serves on the industry advisory board for Ohio State University's tech platform OHI/O. The firm's DC-area office further supports proximity to defense and federal technology ecosystems.

Sica Ventures identifies as an asset manager and an early-stage investment company, not as a single-family office. However, family-linked capital is present: Frank V. Sica, a former Soros Fund Management executive and partner at Tailwind Capital, co-invests in selected portfolio companies, indicating blended family and external capital.

The firm has not publicly articulated a co-investment policy, but its relationship with Frank V. Sica of Tailwind Capital — who co-invests in several Sica Ventures portfolio companies — suggests a willingness to invest family-linked capital alongside external professional vehicles.
