Program thesis
Marque identifies the delay between finding product-market fit and generating defense revenue caused by government budgeting cycles as the primary market inefficiency it exploits. Most venture capital firms cannot sustain 18-36 month revenue delays, creating an opportunity for specialized capital with government domain expertise. Marque provides specialized capital, deep expertise in defense technology, and connections between entrepreneurs and strategic government customers.
