Dedicated defense royalty platforms. We're building the first.

Defense tech companies create critical IP through SBIR grants, R&D contracts, and proprietary innovation. Their options to monetize that IP are limited: sell the company, raise dilutive equity, or let it sit. Signal offers a better path.


Structured Capital, Not Equity

Step 01

Defense tech company owns valuable IP

Patents, production rights, or contract-backed revenue streams from DoD or prime contractor relationships.

Step 02

Signal provides upfront capital

We acquire a share of future licensing fees, production royalties, or contract-derived cash flows. Typically $5-50M per transaction.

Step 03

Company keeps equity, keeps building

No board seats. No dilution. Non-dilutive capital that lets founders and operators stay in control.
