Silent Ventures

Silent Ventures is an early-stage venture fund that backs founders building defense and deep technology companies intended to strengthen the United States and its allies. Based in Dallas, Texas, the firm makes its first check at pre-seed, typically leading or co-leading rounds, with investments of $2–5 million. It maintains a follow-on programme providing continued capital to portfolio companies from seed through pre-IPO.

Its stated technical coverage is broad within the sector: aerospace, hypersonics, propulsion, space platforms, directed energy, unmanned systems, autonomy, artificial intelligence, command and control, cybersecurity, energy, manufacturing, robotics, compute, supply chains and hardware. Sector verticals span defense, national security, critical systems, software and supply chain. The emphasis is on physical systems and infrastructure and on what the firm describes as consequential technologies.

The firm positions itself around founding teams it regards as exceptional and around a mission orientation toward the national security posture of the US and its allies. Further details on founding year and team size are not published.
