Defense Contractor Seeking $5M Equity Investment for Air-to-Air Refueling Operations

This listing seeks a $5,000,000 equity investment for a defense-focused conglomerate established in 2018, aiming to lead the global Air-to-Air Refueling (AAR) market. The investment will fund a wholly-owned subsidiary, a St. Louis-based firm (VOSB, SDVOSB, 8A eligible MBE) registered with SAM and actively contracting with the government. The subsidiary's Commercial Air Refueling Augmentation (COMAUG-AR) service has received approval from the DoD and USAF, and endorsement from the House Armed Services Committee, addressing a critical national capacity gap. Funds will facilitate the transfer of over 10 surplus government Air Refueling aircraft, capitalize on USAF-funded R&D for a sole-source contract within 18 months, secure contracts for an Air Operators Certificate, and cover minimum personnel for FAA/DoD registration. The aircraft and contracts will serve as collateral for commercial lending, complementing $66M in non-dilutive government funding. Offering memorandum, financials, and prospectus available upon signing an NDA and investment questionnaire.
