NEW YORK CITY, NY — May 26, 2026 — Washington Harbour Partners is proud to share that 16 of its portfolio companies have been named to the Silicon Valley Defense Group’s annual 2026 NatSec100, a ranking of the top PE & venture-backed American companies driving breakthroughs in national security. The NatSec100 list identifies and highlights companies that are shaping the future of government, defense, intelligence, aerospace, cybersecurity, and dual-use technologies.

Washington Harbour Partners ranks among the most meaningful investors in the 2026 NatSec100, placing the firm in the top six among the nation’s most prominent investors.  We’re honored to be recognized at the top of the list among firms we deeply respect and have had the privilege of collaborating with across the ecosystem, including In-Q-Tel, a16z, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Valor Equity Partners, and Point72 Ventures. The ranking reflects Washington Harbour’s deliberate strategy of working closely with government, defense, and intelligence community stakeholders to identify high priority capability gaps and support the companies bringing high performance, scalable, interoperable commercial technology solutions.

“The technology needs of the United States and our allies are evolving faster than traditional systems were built to respond to. Maintaining America’s technological and strategic edge requires sustained private-sector investment in commercial, scalable, interoperable mission-critical capabilities at the intersection of innovation, resilience, and national security,” Mina Faltas, Founder and CEO of Washington Harbour Partners, said in the report. “Private capital plays a vital role in scaling technologies that strengthen the defense industrial base, support our allies, and ensure mission readiness within months, not years. By working closely with government, defense, and intelligence community stakeholders to understand urgent capability gaps, Washington Harbour Partners is committed to backing founders and business owners who are building the next generation of solutions and platforms essential to America’s long-term security and competitiveness.”
