We solve the problem most firms can't.
Finding what isn't on the market, and winning it. Senior operators open the doors — the engine fills the pipeline.
Industry leaders who have built and sold these businesses
Operating partners from the top of energy, infrastructure, defence, and aerospace — the same calibre of senior operator a leading fund or consultancy builds around. They originate through relationships that aren't for sale, and create value once the deal closes: contracts, growth, and the path to exit.
Proprietary flow that never reaches a banker's book
A technology-driven origination capability that maps entire sectors — surfacing the companies, decision-makers, and timing that never appear in an auction or a pitchbook. Continuous, and at a depth no single desk could cover by hand.
We see the deal before it's a deal.
Two sectors. One discipline.
Where deep operator relationships and capital are converging fastest.
Energy & Infrastructure
Utilities, EPC primes, nuclear operators, and the physical infrastructure behind the AI buildout — one team covering the full range of power, from grid-scale programmes to the powered sites hyperscalers need.
Defence & Aerospace
RF and electronic warfare, SIGINT, mission systems, and the primes and programmes that buy them — led by operators who have built and sold in this market.
Capital on one side. Companies on the other.
PE firms · family offices · M&A banks
Deploying into energy, infrastructure, defence, and aerospace — looking for proprietary, off-market acquisition targets, and operators who create value after the deal closes.
Energy & defence businesses
That need contracts, sites, power, a growth path, or an exit — and the senior relationships and origination to get there.
The operators behind the firm.
Sector leaders who have run, scaled, and sold the businesses our clients invest in — positioned where their experience solves the problem.
Alex Fatoberu
Built the origination platform behind the firm — the engine, the operator network, and the commercial model that pairs them. Runs client relationships and closes the deals the platform surfaces.
Jim Berkman
$2B+ in capital project delivery, including the $4.5B CANDU restart and the Fort Calhoun decommissioning. Relationships across utilities, EPC primes, nuclear operators, and DOE/DOD.
Paul Russell
Former CEO of Stellant Systems, a $380M RF/EW division carved out of L3Harris. Grew the business from $229M to $343M and sold it to Arlington Capital — and again to TransDigm.
Nick Gritti
Former Stellant Systems. Turned around the SIGINT business, growing orders from $240M to $300M+. Deep relationships across AFSOC and AFRL.
Four phases. One focused window.
Mandate-based, confidential, and led from the front. Nothing moves without your sign-off.
Mandate
A confidential brief — what you're looking to acquire, source, build, or exit, and where prior efforts stalled.
Origination & mapping
We map the market against your mandate — the off-market targets, owners, and timing that fit, surfaced by the engine and the operators.
Verification & positioning
We pressure-test what's real — the company, the site, the power, the counterparty — and shape the approach.
Introduction & execution
Direct introductions with full context on both sides. We stay in to help win — through close, contract, or exit.
Discreet conversations, by introduction.
Tell us what you're looking to acquire, build, or exit — and we'll tell you plainly where we can help.
