Boutique Defense Consultancy

Navigating Defense.
Capturing Opportunity.

The premier boutique consultancy helping advanced technology companies enter and win in the U.S. National Security ecosystem.

The Defense Market
Is Different

Breaking into the national security ecosystem isn't about having great technology. It's about understanding the battlefield, speaking the language of end-users, and navigating a complex landscape where relationships and persistence matter more than PowerPoint decks.

Most consultants told us our technology wasn't ready for defense. Sawtooth showed us how to position it, connected us with actual end-users, and helped us win our first $2M contract within six months. They're still with us two years later.
