At Countdown, we discover and fund founders rebuilding the American industrial base by solving hard engineering problems. Our goal is to help companies secure a free, prosperous future and unlock real, tangible progress for generations to come. Our sectors of focus include aerospace, manufacturing, defense, energy, and construction, and we typically invest at the earliest stages (pre-incorporation and pre-seed). We pay close attention to founders motivated to hire aggressively and relentlessly pursue success for themselves, their team, and our country.
