Decisive Point

Decisive Point is a specialized venture capital firm based in Beacon, United States, uniquely positioned at the intersection of commercial innovation and national security. The firm is dedicated to investing in dual-use technology companies, meaning those with applications for both civilian markets and critical government, national security, and defense sectors. Decisive Point aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge startups and the complex needs of government agencies, leveraging its deep understanding of the federal procurement landscape to accelerate the adoption of transformative technologies.

The firm primarily targets Seed and Series A stage companies that are developing solutions for areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced materials, and autonomous systems. Decisive Point seeks out companies that have either already secured their initial government contracts or are on the cusp of doing so, demonstrating early traction and a clear pathway to serving public sector clients. Their investment strategy is highly focused on enabling these companies to navigate the unique challenges and opportunities within the government market, providing strategic guidance beyond just capital.

Decisive Point typically deploys first checks ranging from $1 million to $3 million, reflecting their commitment to early-stage, high-potential ventures. This targeted investment size allows them to be a significant early partner for founders building critical national security technologies. The firm successfully closed its inaugural fund, Decisive Point Fund I, at $75 million in July 2023, underscoring investor confidence in their specialized approach and the growing demand for dual-use technologies. This capital base enables them to support a robust portfolio of companies poised to make a substantial impact on national defense and government capabilities.

Their value proposition extends beyond financial investment, offering portfolio companies access to a network of government and defense experts, strategic advice on contracting, and insights into mission-critical requirements. By focusing on companies that can serve both commercial and government clients, Decisive Point helps build resilient businesses with diversified revenue streams. This strategic alignment ensures that the technologies they back are not only innovative but also directly address pressing national security challenges, fostering a new generation of defense-focused tech leaders.
