Who we are

As prior members of the US military, RMSEC’s leadership saw Colorado’s national security ecosystem was missing the force-multiplying element that makes the military so effective: cohesiveness and collaboration.

RMSEC is guided by their shared experiences in defense and national security, technology startups, government contracting, early-stage investing, and business strategy.
