VanSant Ventures is a defense consulting and advisory firm built by former Special Operations leaders who’ve used, tested, and approved technologies in the field.

We partner with innovators across the defense and national security ecosystem to turn breakthrough ideas into deployable, mission-ready capabilities.
Our team brings deep, hands-on expertise in both combat and acquisition. We’ve served in Delta Force, Special Forces, and SOCOM program leadership—overseeing multi-billion-dollar portfolios and managing programs from concept through fielding. That experience gives us a rare, inside-out understanding of how defense procurement really works.

We work with defense and dual-use innovators to align technologies with DoD priorities, navigate complex acquisition pathways, and deliver capabilities that make it into the field—helping founders turn potential into impact.
