Ark is a boutique government affairs and public policy strategy firm headquartered in Washington, DC.

We were founded in 2024 to provide enterprise IT and defense tech start-ups with fractional US & global government affairs with the feel, expertise, and intimacy of an in-house function at a compelling price point. We specialize in helping organizations who interact with the government primarily as their customer, regulator, or competitor. 

Ark supports foundational, critical, and emerging dual-use technology including SaaS, cybersecurity, digital identity, AI, semiconductors, robotics and autonomous systems, space, maritime, next-generation telecommunications, and advanced manufacturing. We enjoy a global network to provide clients solutions across the UK, EU, Japan, India, & ASEAN regions.

Just as the Ark was built before the flood, our name reflects our founding conviction that the time to build a government affairs capability is before the need turns existential.
