Silent Ventures released its quarterly LP report for the first quarter of 2026, making its proprietary market insights public for the first time. The Dallas-based early-stage venture firm said it has backed 14 defense and deep tech unicorns to date.
The firm leads pre-seed and seed rounds, writing checks of $1.5 million to $4 million. Founded by Jackson Moses, Silent Ventures invests in companies that sit at the boundary of plausible science fiction and commercial reality, according to the report.
Silent Ventures said it decided to publish its quarterly findings to encourage more founders and investors to enter defense and deep tech, with the goal of stimulating Western innovation. The report includes data from third-party sources and portfolio companies. The firm noted it has not independently verified all of the information.
The fund's portfolio includes investments in 14 unicorns, though it did not name them in the report. Silent Ventures and its affiliates have backed companies across defense and deep tech sectors, focusing on early-stage opportunities that other venture firms often avoid.
