Why SSG

Sector-native. Deal-tested.

Our team brings deep sector, sales, and capital markets expertise honed by decades of experience on Wall Street, in defense contractors, in VC-backed start-ups, and in government and military service.

We’ve raised significant capital for public and private companies, completed a range of M&A transactions, managed technology companies generating hundreds of millions in sales, and built strategic relationships with leading systems integrators and OEMs.

Our Philosophy

We believe emerging growth companies in the defense sector are benefiting from the Pentagon’s growing budget and its focus on innovation, responsiveness and speed of production. Institutional investors and strategic acquirers appear to be responding to these trends based on the uptick in financing and M&A activities targeting smaller companies.
