The reference index of the defense technology ecosystem
Founders, venture funds, government contracts, programs, and company cap tables - cross-linked and sourced, so you can trace any claim back to where it came from.
Free preview · Pro for full access to every record, source, and cap table.
One platform. Every angle.
While defense tech analysts cross-reference Pitchbook, Crunchbase, and DoD press releases for 5 to 10 hours per week, Defense Tech Atlas gives you the complete profile of a founder, a fund, a DoD contract, or a cap table - in two minutes for $49 per month.
Common questions
Everything analysts ask before switching from generalist tools.
Pitchbook and Crunchbase already cover global venture funding.
These aggregators are generalists and don't cover DoD contracts won, EU programs (EDIRPA, EDF, EDIS), or Defense Tech cap tables round by round. Defense Tech Atlas fills this specialization gap.
$49/month is expensive for a newsletter.
It's a data index, not a newsletter. The Pro ticket is less than a quarter of an equivalent Pitchbook subscription and is more than offset by the hours of monitoring saved each week.
DoD contracts are public on USAspending.
USAspending publishes raw data with an interface not suited for quick analyst use. Defense Tech Atlas structures and cross-references with founder profiles and cap tables.
How do you guarantee data freshness?
