About
We're operators who build technology companies — now we do it for yours.
A113 Partners is a hands-on operating practice — not a fund and not a memo-writing consultancy. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with founders across defense and our key focus industries — energy, AI, space, and advanced industry — and the investors backing them, turning frontier technology and AI integration into funded programs, revenue, and realized exits.
Track Record
Built, scaled, patented, and exited.
We have founded and led advanced-technology companies at the intersection of defense, energy, telecommunications, and intelligent systems — including a pioneer in two-phase liquid immersion cooling that raised over $100M before being acquired by a Fortune 1000 industrial leader. We hold 25+ patents spanning robotics, post-quantum security, batteries, and edge infrastructure.
That operator background is the difference. We don't write memos from the outside — we sit with founders through Phase II execution, prime negotiation, and the appropriations cycle, and we brief government agencies, primes, and capital providers across homeland security, critical-infrastructure protection, and advanced manufacturing.
How We Work
Our incentives are tied to your outcomes.
No pooled capital, no passive checks. We earn our living through intelligence engagements, fractional operating retainers, advisory equity, and diligence work for investors — so our incentives are tied to your outcomes.
