Company
Profile

Foxglove Defence aims to reshape the Defence Industrial Base for Australia and our allies by building a high-conviction portfolio that delivers strong investor outcomes and reinforces national security.


Founded in 2025, we recognised the opportunity to close structural gaps across the defence capability landscape. Too often, breakthrough innovations stall in the “valley of death” between invention and adoption. Our role is to bridge that divide - accelerating the transition from lab to field so that critical technologies deliver real-world capability and investor value when it matters most.


What sets us apart is the combination of operational experience and disciplined investment, underpinned by:


  • Trusted global networks and adoption corridors
  • An incubating Foundry and advisory platform alongside the fund
  • Regulatory insight that reduces barriers to market
  • Governance discipline under AFSL obligations through Boutique Capital


This model allows us to direct capital into ventures that deliver shorter-cycle capabilities, maintain the technological edge of Australia and its allies, and pursue risk-adjusted returns while reshaping the Defence Industrial Base.

Our
Approach

To support our vision, we aim to invest, incubate, and advise innovative companies that deliver defence and dual-use capabilities across three pillars: 


  1. Defence Technologies that enhance operational advantage; 
  2. Critical Supply Systems that underpin resilience; and 
  3. Advanced Manufacturing that enables rapid, scalable production of essential capabilities.


These pillars are delivered through Foxglove Defence’s four integrated components - Fund, Foundry, Advisory, and Analytics - forming a platform with an edge that creates advantages rarely available to generalist investors.
