Tenta Ventures

We are mavericks and creators, pushing the boundaries of innovation. Built for the Uncommon. Designed to Disrupt.

Tenta Ventures is a venture studio for those who dare to build differently. We exist to create and scale startups that operate at the intersection of defense, national security, and commercial innovation with a focus on dual-use, AI, and cyber technologies.

Born from a rare convergence of people, timing, and purpose, Tenta Ventures was built to accelerate bold ideas into market-defining companies. We’re not an incubator. Not an accelerator. We are builders. Operators. Strategists. Founders.

Backed by over 200 years of combined military and professional excellence, our cadre of entrepreneurs, veterans, and executives brings deep operational insight, creative daring, and fearless execution to every venture we launch.

We don’t just invest… we create. We embed, launch, and scale from day one. Through shared infrastructure, expert teams, and a founder-first approach, we dramatically reduce risk and increase the speed to market.

We believe the future belongs to the bold… Let’s build!

Vision
