We invest in market-leading companies that can benefit from our investment track record, deep industry knowledge, operating experience and relationships throughout our target markets. Our strategy is to invest throughout the long-product lifecycles of our highly technical target markets.
Private Equity
We make control-oriented investments in companies that are strategically important to their target markets and we are often the first institutional investor in privately-held businesses that have been under founder, family or corporate ownership for decades. We are a growth-oriented investor and partner with strong management teams to create value through a combination of organic and acquisition-based growth initiatives that drive long-term value.
Structured Solutions
We focus on non-control investment opportunities, in the form of secured and unsecured debt, preferred equity and common equity. We partner with privately held businesses in AE Industrial’s target markets that value a relationship with AE Industrial and need capital to finance growth or acquisitions. These businesses understand that AE Industrial’s deep industry knowledge and relationships bring significant benefits beyond our invested capital. This combination of flexible capital with our strategic focus provides growth-oriented companies with unique financing solutions that support long-term growth and value creation.
Venture Capital

We invest in founders of high-growth technology businesses solving critical problems across national security, aerospace and industrial markets. Our expertise spans both hardware and software with a focus on Seed-Series B companies but have a flexible mandate to target growth stage as well. We excel at supporting our partners with rapid adoption and scaling by leveraging our unique network and expertise across their customer bases.
