Long Knife is a national security focused asset management platform. It originates, evaluates and invests in private companies that provide best-in-class defense-specific, and dual-use, technologies.
The founders of Long Knife are committed to generating outsized returns for our investors while ensuring those that serve within national defense, both domestically and among allied nations, have asymmetric, all-domain advantage in support of their missions.
Our name stems from US military history and legend. Continental Army Officer George Rogers Clark was given the moniker "Long Knife” by Native American tribal leaders as a sign of respect after witnessing his successful military campaigns that defied all odds against the British. The name has been carried on in military tradition through the US Army’s 4th Squadron of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment.
