Ultratech Capital Partners

The firm targets early-stage and growth-stage companies, with a focus on seed, startup, and expansion phases. The strategy is to enter at the point where technical risk has been reduced through government R&D funding but commercial scale remains ahead, positioning Ultratech between the SBIR/STTR ecosystem and the first institutional venture round.

The firm's sector focus centers on dual-use and defense-adjacent technologies: aerospace components, autonomous systems, cybersecurity platforms, advanced materials, and AI/ML built for contested environments. The common thread is hardware or software that can serve both the Department of Defense and a recognizable commercial market, reducing reliance on any single government program of record.

Alexandria sits inside the Northern Virginia defense-technology corridor, minutes from the Pentagon, DARPA headquarters, and the offices of major defense primes. Proximity allows the firm to maintain direct relationships with the program managers and acquisition officials who define technical requirements, giving portfolio companies an informational and access advantage over firms investing from Silicon Valley or New York.
